Use stick figures for full-length characters. Express postures with the angles of the shoulders and hips, plusthe curve of the spine. For female figures, add long hair, and, if appropriate, a skirt from the hip line down. Note the arrows used to indicate the direction of movement. (You can omit them, If you prefer, as you copy the models.)

To draw storyboard heads for closeups, you need to aim them and provide them with expressions. You also need to indicate gender, where appropriate.

To practice these skills, try copying each of the heads on this page and the next one in the empty frame directly under it. As you work on your sketches, notice the various sugges- tions printed on the worksheet. Remember: try for clean outlines rather than finished drawings. The simpler the sketch, the better.
