Portfolio: RebeccaMyersIllustration.com/STORYBOARDS Hello, I am an illustrator and storyboard artist who holds a bachelor's degree in Illustration. My work focuses on storytelling, which lends itself well to comics, book covers and storyboards. My strength as an artist comes from my ability to draw from my imagination. This ability comes in handy when drawing things like monsters, superheroes, and magical landscapes. My vivid sense of imagery helps me create comics and storyboards in a manner that is timely and consistent. I have a semi-realistic style. I vary my work between detailed line work and industry standard digital painting. Notable work: "Create Your Own Comics" comic sketch book by Piccadilly, fully drawn and written by me, available at almost every Barnes and Noble. Storyboards created for ads and movies for the Amazon, Pepsi, Gatorade, US Navy, Army, Wal-Mart, Remington, and more. Many covers for Phoenix Pick Publishing, including Robert Heinlein's 'Red Planet'. Some things I specialize in I often find clients looking for: Storyboards for indie films, pitches, and commercials Rush jobs Comic Art Black and White Line Art Horror Art Young Adult Fiction, especially girl's fiction

... 🙄"OK, let's get a clear budget in place so we're not working hard, we're working intentionally, towards a defined goal" Said by me to a recent client who didn't have a scope of his project, or how much work it would cost to get where he's going. ( Ask me how the story ends). Hi, I'm Sam; The 🪙-Golden Illustrator. My work spans children's book illustration, character design, concept art, graphic design, and product packaging, which means I'm comfortable working across the full creative spectrum, whether you need a whimsical cast of characters for a picture book or bold, shelf-ready packaging for a product launch. What makes working with me different? I don't treat projects as tickets to close. I start by understanding what you're actually trying to achieve; your audience, your tone, your goals — and then I build visuals around that. Good illustration isn't just pretty; it communicates something. That's the standard I hold my work to. What I can help you with: 👶 Children's book illustration and sequential storytelling 🧌 Character design and development (from rough concept to polished final art) 🏋️ Custom digital illustration and cartoon art 🌠 Graphic design, motion graphics, and animation 🎁 Product packaging design that earns shelf space ®️ Brand illustration and visual identity assets I'm a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork, and that reflects something I genuinely care about — not just delivering great work, but making the whole process smooth for the people I work with.
