A good rule of thumb for new or beginning board artists is to do a new panel every time there's punctuation in a line of dialogue. See a comma? That's a new panel. Come to a period? That's a new panel. It keeps a monologue from looking boring or stagnant.

the last tip about rendering is good for illustration too. Cool how much feeling you got in just from the simple rendering. would love a video focused on planning lighting and rendering with quick thumbs for illustrative or storyboarding purposes.

as a student in animation, I fall into the trap of overly rendering my storyboards all the time, so this advice has been very inspiring!

30 percent rule is important adding to that at least two jumps like from close up to medium shot (not medium close up) while staying on the same object.

Those were some wonderful tips! I especially loved the one about the horizon line, that's something I don't usually think about

I have a question which I’ve been struggling for a while now

How to identity which angle is good for “That scene” and which is not
Because I see that angle looks good But feels something is off but can’t identify where it was
It’s like that angle doesn’t fit to that scene feeling
