Does anyone know anything about storyboarding a cartoon?1mo
I am currently teaching myself animation with the animators's survival kit book. hoping to create cartoon one day. so any advice?

A great book to start learning Animation principles with is The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. You can find Aaron Blaise on Proko and YouTube, he's an excellent animation teacher, and has a bunch of free online resources on traditional and digital animation. Also check out Mike Mattesi's Force series, Mike teaches figure drawing from an animation standpoint and it's well worth checking out. If you're working traditionally with pencil and paper, a lightbox will be a great addition to your drawing desk to help you place your characters in the correct position from page to page, Huion makes a great inexpensive LED lighbox which I really like. As far as digital goes, an iPad and Procreate Dreams is an incredible resource to start animating with, Aaron Blaise did a great demo using Dreams. Hope this helps!

What a good setup for a animator?1mo
So I feel sketching is getting better and wondering what I need to become an animator? specifically 2d animation like anime or many of the dc animated movies.

even though I didn't get a critique. i got a lot out of it
Wow, this is a lot of great work!! (I love Pinky and the Brain! NARF!) You're covering a ton of ground here working on backgrounds/environments, perspective, characters, expressions, portraits, figure work, all excellent! What are you most interested in doing with your art? Comics/Manga, animation, game design, all of the above? All of the elements you're drawing here fundamentally revolve around storytelling, and you're working on improving your skills drawing the components beautifully so I'd love to see you start to integrate these elements into your own stories! Have you drawn a comic strip, or maybe some storyboards for an animation sequence you'd like to see? Start introducing some composition, and visual storytelling lessons into your work so you can learn how to tell stories through your characters. Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud is a great book on visual storytelling, as well as the Framed Ink series by Marcos Mateu-Mestre. Studying film and TV cinematography can also be a fun way to study visual storytelling. There's also a great resource text in the Famous Artists Cartooning course from 1953 which has public domain PDFs circulating on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/famous-artists-cartooning-course/mode/2up I hope this helps! Keep up the excellent work!!
