Reply To: How to decide what to focus on?

[Ronald Vermeij]

I guess it’s time to find my passion outside of creating products.
Yes! Once you let go of the I-must-create-a-product-first mindframe, you will discover that you can simply create anything you can put in front / inside your mind’s eye Daphne. I’m curious what your next passion(s) will be.

At  this point I’m thinking of creating some fantasy or nature  environments.
And where could one get more inspired then… by walking through real-live ones? For example
– Take a hike in the woods,
– Walk along the beach
– Cycle through vast grasslands, or prairies
or – you can even take an tour through the local urban jungle..
Just empty the mind, to fully BE there and to FEEL yourself totally to get submerged in it.

My plan is to first play around with 2D sketching. It  should not always have to be 3D.
Exactly, the-thing-called-creativity does not limit itself to 3 dimensions Daphne. Just start inside you head, and let the Universe flow you consciousness with great new visions. After that, get those ideas and visions out of of your head again on plain old paper first so you can en-vision your next project ON PAPER FIRST and perhaps share them with others too

Next step: Find any! expression vehicle / tool (perhaps a analogue paintbrush, sculpt-kit and/or any computer device) and start carving out a new reality for yourself.

Here are some inspiring storyboard, concept-art websites for you to look at:
– Khan Academy – Pixar in a Box
– Pixar – The Art of Storyboarding (and more)
– Disney – Planes – Concept Art(ist)
– Disney – Emojy Movie – Art design
