Realistic Joyful Human Sketches

I’m developing a short narrative sequence and I want each moment to come alive through a set of realistic sketches that radiate joy. Think of it as a loose, comic-style storyboard: human characters in everyday situations, their faces, gestures, and movement all working together to communicate a warm, upbeat mood.

Here’s what I already know:
• Style: strictly realistic—clean proportions, accurate anatomy, believable lighting.
• Emotion: joy and happiness must be unmistakable in every frame.
• Cast: all human characters, no animals or fantasy elements.

What I still need to finalise with you:
• The exact scene list and therefore the total sketch count. Once you see the outline, we can decide how many panels best tell the story.
• Any layout tweaks so the flow feels natural in a comic strip format.
• File specs: I’m leaning toward high-resolution PNGs layered in PSD, but I’m flexible if you prefer Procreate, Clip Studio, or another industry-standard tool.

You’ll receive:
1. A concise written script and mood board as soon as we start.
2. My sample artwork so you can match line weight and shading.
3. Prompt feedback at each checkpoint (rough thumbs, refined pencils, final inks).

What I’ll look for on delivery:
• Lively, well-observed facial expressions and body language that instantly read “happy.”
• Clean, proportionate figures with consistent styling across panels.
• Print-ready files (300 dpi minimum) plus the editable source files.

If that sounds clear, just let me know your preferred workflow and any questions you have about the story. I’m ready to get started as soon as we firm up the sketch count.
