I have never really been a fine artist (you'll notice by the first two boards). But for this project the vision was very specific. The camera movement was to be all fluid with continuous motion and long takes (for a commercial's standard). So I turned to my other skills in photoshop to help picture the ideas. I composited location stills and pictures of Mike Ross (our lead actor), then filled in the blanks with a paintbrush in Adobe Photoshop.

For me, whatever gets the point across does the job; so our whole crew understands the end goal for each shot and every department can work together harmoniously for the few seconds of each take. Here's a side by side comparison of the storyboards next to the final picture/audio that ended up in the commercial.
