Description
Having a great idea is not quite enough.
Starting to create your actual artwork with just a raw idea in mind is a recipe for trouble. What you need is something a lot more exciting than a mere idea: you need a VISION.
Having a detailed, exciting and workable vision of what your final work is going to be like, is absolutely KEY to a successful "MAKE" phase.
In this course you'll learn:
- 2 complementary methods of developing your raw idea into a full vision.
- How to keep your vision steady while you work.
- How to communicate your vision with your clients and/or your team.
- Counter-intuitive methods of working faster, and making your deadlines without stress.
- Some of the dangers and pitfalls in developing your vision.
GO EXPLORE is the third in a 5 courses program called GO CREATE - a complete guide to the universal creative process. You can take it as a standalone course, or take the entire program for a fully integrated working method.
Just like with all the GO CREATE courses, I've made an effort to fit everything into a mean lean 60 minutes course. Take the course now, and in just one short hour you'll have the tools to:
- Create your next project with excitement and confidence, instead of fear and confusion.
- Balance your FLOW and your STRUCTURE better than ever.
- Juice up your work with a new level of finesse, texture and details.
At the end of the course, you'll find a few fun exercises. I encourage you to do the exercises. My experience as a teacher shows me clearly, that the ones who make it are always the ones who DO THE EXERCISES.
And now... join the course, and Let's GO EXPLORE!

- Writers
- Game & App designers

Instructor
For the last decade, I've been studying the creative process. Not as a scholar, but as a professional creative striving for more clarity and confidence, less anxiety and fear of failure.
My book, Workflow: A Practical Guide to the Creative process (Publised by CRC Press, AKA Focal Press) is loosely based on the video courses published here on Udemy. It came out March 2018 an is available on Amazon around the world.
My 20 years career includes: storyboards for features (The Secret Life of Pets) and TV shows (Emmy awarded Shaun the Sheep), animation on feature films (Asterix and the Vikings) and computer games (Hitman), and managing and supervising creative teams (Head of story on My Little Pony - The Movie). I also wrote a couple of instructional books, illustrated children books, designed apps (AppSpace for android).
I have been giving lectures and courses in animation, storyboarding, design and the creative process since 2001.
