A common question that I get from beginners is: What the hell am I supposed to draw? In this course, we're going to look at how to think about *what* we draw so that we can solve that problem. We'll look at generating ideas from "scratch", taking vague notions and refining them into concrete designs, and producing work that can participate in a greater pipeline to create tangible products.
Are there going to be more videos? This doesn't explain how to decided what to you should draw at all and instead talks about design and then proceeds to discuss a personal project and paintover. Tools like perspective grids and 3d modelling are only useful if you already have ideas in mind and are ready to execute.

Sorry for being more than a little late in replying to this. The videos earlier in the course - including the "What If" video used as a free preview for it - focus on how to develop an idea, and discuss how the problem students face in "coming up" with ideas isn't actually generating the seed/starting point itself, but in understanding that ideas do not pop into our minds fully formed. Rather, they are developed through the strategies we explore here.
The rest of the course delves into more abstract extensions of that same core, with the more specific and nuanced anecdotes about how I dealt with a variety of problems in developing the kinds of designs I would produce as a working concept artist.
Ultimately the issue isn't that students can't come up with ideas, but that they do not recognize them as ideas because what they're hoping and expecting to come up with are much more complex and further along. And so rather than recognizing them for what they are - a seed which through thought exercises can be developed into something with greater depth and complexity - they get tossed aside as not having been ideas at all. My intent with this course is to help show students that there is much more to ideation, and that the development of those ideas is very much a skill that can be developed, with strategies that can we can practice applying.
