Draw What You See, Not What You THINK You See

"Draw what you see, not what you know"
This was without doubt one of the biggest pieces of advice I was given as a young artist. Going with what your brain thinks things look like instead of the image you see in front of you can be the downfall of a realistic looking drawing, so let's take a look at what we can actually see in this drawing.

Hi Gemma, I’m wondering when you do the grid method of drawing how do you do the grid on the picture on the I pad?

It's almost like in order to draw in 3D you need to be able to see in 2D and see objects objectively

CAN YOU DO THE SAME PROCESS BUT WITH A ANOTHER DETAILED DRAWING. I can never draw supper detailed things bc there’s just so much that I can’t just stick to one thing.
