I’ve chosen Ernesto Melo for my storyboard artist. I appreciate the depth he can create in his backgrounds with mostly simple shapes, and the colors are beautiful. He makes it look easy, especially with how effortlessly he seems to be able to draw cars. He really has a range of subjects he can do well, and the animals (including people) have a ton of expression and personality. He exaggerates features extremely well. Some of the detail in his boards is incredible as well, like the mechanical foot on the gas pedal. The boards are clear and action packed, and do a good job in advertising. His use of scale is very nice and he is able to fit people comfortably and realistically in closed spaces like cars and planes. It all looks very in place. With his shots of the cars he does a wonderful job of conveying speed, danger, and beauty. I also checked out a blog and he explains how to do colored boards in a real hurry. It was very helpful.
