Good at sketching, but not good at polishing your drawings? Feel like your draftsmanship is mediocre, but still able to do cool concept art?

Well I have just the job for you my friend?

If you draw like me, but don't know how to animate, but are equally bad at cleaning up your drawings, do what many artists in animation do (even for the more detailed projects this counts as a job)...

BECOME A STORYBOARD ARTIST!

Storyboards are often rough and unrefined. But the really cool part is, in some ways drawing storyboards is similar to drawing cartooning and comics!

Even shows like Dragonball Z have certain panels and camera shots in their storyboard (THE Storyboards, the ones used in the shows) that look like a Danny Antonucci napkin doodle! Every show and movie has simple boards (except ones storyboarded by Katsuhiro Otomo, cuz he does very detailed storyboards)

Storyboards are often not detail heavy. But they are style- and storytelling-heavy.

Perfect job for the cartoonists who don't know how to clean up...like me.
