I love animation and have been drawing all my life. My dream is to become a storyboard artist. How do I make it? Should I get into a specific school to build a curriculum or go ahead and focus on making a portfolio already? Also, what are some essential books about it?

I mostly draw cartoons and caricatures, which I find fun, but I can draw in anatomical proportions as well, and have been studying shades and colours

Storyboarding isn't really something that's taught. It's a conceptual job, so just studying concept alone will be beneficial. Most storyboarding isn't really much more than quick sketches, that aren't accurate or detailed, or even look like the characters, they're simply a visual way to block out scenes with the director and cameraman, to build the narrative and look of the film. Most storyboard people I've run into landed in the job with general art degrees/experience, usually through indy films or college films, and found they were really good at it. And, it's who you know, as many times, jobs for storyboarding are hired from within production companies, or freelancers who've been doing it and have solid references.
