How to storyboard
Drawing skills aren't necessary for creating storyboards.
Before working on the template, start thinking about the story and its character. Create a step-by-step outline of the story. Add call-outs and emoticons to represent any emotions from a character.
Then, use the template to translate each step into a storyboard frame. Illustrate each scene as best as you can.
Stories should have a clear outcome, any benefits of a solution, or depiction of the problem.
A second template option has been provided to help you build out the narrative of your vision if you find it easier to focus on key elements of the storyline rather than the visuals.
