The right skills on your resume can mean the difference between landing an interview and getting filtered out. Here are the exact skills storyboard artist employers are looking for in 2026.
These technical skills are the foundation of any strong storyboard artist resume. Employers and ATS systems specifically scan for these:
In-demand Drawing and sketching skills are essential for drawing and sketching workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Film/animation vocabulary skills are essential for film/animation vocabulary workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Sequential storytelling skills are essential for sequential storytelling workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator skills are essential for adobe photoshop/illustrator workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Storyboard Pro skills are essential for storyboard pro workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Camera angles skills are essential for camera angles workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Scene composition skills are essential for scene composition workflows and employer expectations.
In-demand Revision speed skills are essential for revision speed workflows and employer expectations.

Create a dedicated Skills section
Place a "Skills" or "Core Competencies" section near the top of your resume — after your summary but before your experience.
Use columns for visual efficiency
List skills in 2–3 columns to save space and make them easy to scan. Bullet points or pipe (|) separators work well.
Match the job description exactly
Copy exact skill names from the job posting. If they say "REST APIs" and you wrote "RESTful services", you might miss ATS matches.
Separate hard from soft skills
Keep technical/hard skills in your Skills section. Demonstrate soft skills through your experience bullets and summary instead.
Most storyboard artist job applications are screened by ATS before a human ever reads them. Use these keywords naturally throughout your resume:
