Visual Planning for Artists

Collect inspiration, organize ideas and plan your art projects all in one place.

See everything in one place

Whether you draw, paint or sculpt, artists need a visual way to plan their projects. Milanote is a freeform canvas that helps you manage every part, from ideas to research all the way through to planning the final piece.

Collect inspiration & references

Collecting inspiration is essential for fueling creativity and helping visualize what your final piece might look like.

Milanote lets you collect images, videos, notes, sketches and more—then arrange them in a way that makes sense to you.

Use the Moodboard template to organize your inspiration.

Begin with an inspiring brief

An artistic brief provides clear guidance on what needs to be accomplished. Outlining goals and expectations means your approach is clear from the start so you can stay focused and create your best work.

Use the Visual Art Brief Template to plan your project.

Save research & links

Whether it's learning about your subject matter or brushing up on a new technique, Milanote makes it easy for artists to store research, images, links, videos, notes and more. It's all there at you're fingertips whenever you need a burst of inspiration.

Brainstorm ideas

Milanote's infinite canvas gives artists the freedom to explore creative directions. It helps declutter thoughts by getting ideas out of your head and in front of your eyes. Discover connections and let new ideas emerge.
