Lol. I hope you liked them.
I like this. Really good work.

Thanks Aaron. Boba Fett and Dengar my favorite characters. So there is love to draw those two.

Thank you Aaron! I went ahead and fixed another board (Board 4 [the angle forces me to bring Peter closer to the camera, otherwise it is impossible for him to be the height he is at that distance])

Fixed last page piece. Boba's head in one panel was a little bit off and one of the mercenary's arm was a bit smaller for me in the last panel. Now fixed.

Here are my boards for the three scenes. I made one panel adjustment to my one of them.

Marvel Pencil Assignment7mo
Here are my boards for the pencil assignment. I am aware there were only three scenes: intro, action, and resolution but I actually wrote the script assignment and my boards still represent the three scenes shown in 7 boards. Hope they are readable. Enjoy.

DnD 2nd Edition Troll ZBrush sculpt7mo
I created a DnD inspired Troll from the 1st and second edition tabletop RPG illustrations (Monster Manual). I figured I needed something to add to my portfolio that would be fun to sculpt.
Really nice work good use of camera angles. One thing I noticed is on the 6th page 2nd panel you have a hand breaking the panel border which took me out of the page. It works in the last panel because it is leading you to the next page. Just a thought love your work.

Hey Juan,
Page 1 panel 1 is a great choice, having a down shot of them landing, and page 6 is really dynamic. I hope you get some good response to these pages, you did a lot of work and you kept the characters consistent through out :)

Boba Fett & Dengar Sample Boards 1-88mo
Using what I learned, these will be submitted soon. I took a few tips from David Finch's course and of course I grew up in the era of Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, Mark Teixeira, Tim Bradstreet and Todd. So my art bends towards that era. Hope you enjoy them.

Hey Juan,
I like your drawings, they have a lot of mood and are are well done.
I know you didn't ask for any critique, but I wanted to show you a few things that I think would make your pages a little more dynamic.
The first thing is that your characters are in the center of the panels for the most part. Some even line up throughout the whole page. This makes the pages look static and stiff, and diffuses the drama you are trying to convey.
The second thing is that all the characters are keeping the same poses throughout the story. They lack any sense of movement, and more importantly, emotion.
And third, the horizon line is basically in the same spot in all the panels.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I suspect that you are a TV board artist based on your composition. I say that because I have boarded for TV too, and that's the way they like it, everything in the center. Feature boards tend to use more dramatic compositions because they have the room and budget to do more. For comics, let it fly! really do some compositions and acting and camera angles that you wouldn't usually do.
I did a diagram of your pages and a few sketches to show you what I'm talking about, I hope they give you ideas and help with your pages. Can't wait to see more :)

I made a copy of your notes BTW. I didn't realize how much my mind makes subconscious patterns on my boards. It's like tangents for storytelling. Again, thanks for pointing these out Steve.

Thank you Steve for the critique. I really like your composition and info. I am playing with the rule of thirds and shape composition on the next 5 pages I am working on. Yes, I am an art director/storyboard artist (local 829) and there is a difference and sometimes huge discrepancy between storyboarding and comic art as you stated. Storyboarding is loose because the time restraints can be brutal especially if you are on location. Producers or directors want the work yesterday. So my initial difficulty was to tighten my lines and detail in comic boards.
There is some leeway with placement of principle characters in storyboarding (but they like usual straight on shots, like you said), you can play tricks with arrows, tilt angles and other angle descriptions. But you cannot do this obviously in comic books at all. Also there is the frame restrictions in storyboarding which is usually two size aspect ratios: one for TV and one for film (which if you are not careful, you can get very reliant on). You are unbound in comics. Any frame can go but as long as they help with the general flow of the story you are trying to describe (like the samples you showed). So I have certainly a LOT of respect for this medium of art and comic book artists in general.

These are great! Really solid storytelling, and shot selections!

Thank you Patrick that means a lot. I work as a storyboard artist, so it helps. I found Proko by accident and decided to try it out. I got David Finch's course and I just bought the Marvel course. I will have another batch of boards done soon to show, hopefully, more progress.

Practice Comic Boards9mo
I wanted to show these boards because I got a kick out of David Finch's class. It motivated me into getting back into drawing comic boards once again. My passion and love for this industry has never left me. Thank you David for making this fun again.

Great course. I Learned a few details more.
