When I took a look at William Rosado’s film and television boards, I was rather impressed with how simple and straightforward everything looked. A couple of other boards I’ve seen have a tendency to throw in as much detail as possible, but in some of Rosado’s boards he manages to communicate aspect to aspect moments so simply and cleanly, even if it is a rough storyboard. The way he draws humans is the kind of simplified realism that I always appreciated in contrast to other artists who have a habit of over rendering their images.
His sixth board under his Film and Television folder depicts a woman lying in bed who was just served divorce papers. Although there are only four images on this page and the images themselves are rather simplified, the attention to detail Rosado brings to these shots draw me in. He doesn’t need a lot of lines and shading to convey his shots, but the lines he DOES use are simple and placed with purpose, especially the closeup on the woman.
This isn’t to say that Rosado can’t draw large detailed images either, since his comic panels clearly show his capacity for that too. But even when he does go into highly detailed work it’s still simple and clean, which makes everything instantly readable for me.
