Hehe - and the truth is that even I don't always follow my own advice ... and have to pay as well ...
Here's one bit of helpful information. Last year I had the pleasure to talk to Joanna Quinn (google her! watch her films!). She explained that she always scribbled her storyboard in a very tiny format on paper. Once that's finished, she enlarges those thumbnails: first to have a storyboard for presentation, then again to have layouts for her animation in 1:1 size. This matches exactly my experiences: because of the smooth pencil and tiny size I use, I found that picture composition and lighting is much easier to do in a small size than it is when I try the same task on the tablet in final size.
This is just a reminder for those who always want to do everything in AS and in the computer.
