I've just uploaded a part of my graduation work online Colorized for Life.
It's a raw storyboard and different version of the finalized animation Colored for Life, focused and experimented on character traits, development and interactions (which was part of my thesis research). In Colored for Life the main character Emil is very stubborn, so it was hard to let him convince and change himself to open up his mind and release his self control.
Emil is more easygoing in the storyboard - he is willing to change, but doesn't know how.
Every color ink also have its own distinctive features and personalities. Though some may be a bit reserved, sarcastic or pessimistic, they still cooperate in unison.
Hope you'll enjoy it & thanks for watching!

That was really great! I want to be a storyboard artist too looks like I better keep practicing. :)
Care for an honest critique?
I don't like the first half of it.
There's some bad cuts, some jump cuts and some scenes needing hook-ups.
There's a couple of glaring continuity issues between scenes as well.
One that stands out is about 1/4 of the way through, when the guy is holding up the palette in his right hand, and the the camera cuts to a close up of his face and he's rubbing his chin in though......with his right hand.
These are not big errors, but they are damning ones.
Hook-ups are especially important in making shots flow into each other, and a lot of professional 'boarding ( 2D&3D animation) stresses that.
Also, I have little sense of place in the sequence, mostly because no real location is established and the various shots don't really tie into any set location. Establishing and enforcing this can help with continuity ( and thus rapport) by making it clear where the character is at all times.
Clarity is the key to good storyboarding, because after that you can entertain any which way. If things are clear and easy to understand the audience can focus more on the business of the action and acting..and ultimately what you are trying to say with the piece.
Hope that helps.
