5 WHAT’S THE STORY?

Look for opportunities to incorporate some narrative in drawings and designs. It doesn’t have to be heavy-handed – the way a character wears their sash or how they hold their pose, the materials used for the construction of a gun or a backpack, the in-world ‘how and why’ they build cars or spaceships – all of these are potential storytelling elements that can help give an image more nuance and depth.
