But I can, to answer your question, I can usually visualize what I want to draw before I draw it. Now, it's not perfect. It's not in every detail. But I've got a pretty good idea where it's supposed to be. So I play my mind.

I sort of move things around. I can construct different illustrations, drawings. And until I find something that I like, so different versions will go through my mind before I commit it to drawing. Some of the artists I know will have a different approach. They'll have to draw all these poses and they'll fill up pages of different things. until it looks right.
