If I ask you to picture a beach and you say, try to relax, imagine that you're on a beach side or something. And

These people were never able to do that, but when they heard people say this, they thought it was a metaphor. They didn't actually really ask you to do this. It was just a way of speaking.

And I don't know if it's something that you're born with or if it's something that you can train. I really don't know. To be fair, I don't think there's enough data for that. 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.

Now, I don't use many references either, but I think that comes with a lot of practice. I've been drawing and observing a lot through my life, so I can dive into this and use those references that I've acquired to draw confidently without necessarily using a reference. But I will occasionally be like, you know, stumble upon a position or something that I'm just not comfortable with.

For example, I don't draw many animals. So if I had to draw a lion today, I was like, okay, what's a lion's paw like exactly? I had an idea, but I was like, okay, let's double check. And I went and found some references and I worked with that. So yeah, I still use references now and then for sure.

Yeah, it's funny. I often come back to, like, it started when I had a little conversation with my mom when I was a kid. And I was saying to my mom, mom, why are you watching anime?
