Do you think sculpting the apple in 3d, using it as a featureless model to trace over, and then doing the full illustration might help?
It's not cheating because you would have put the work in to sculpt that apple...I think?
Using references and tracing still life isn't cheating, tracing other people work is cheating.
Use every tool you have to make better art, no real artist expects anyone to perfectly draw anything from their minds eye (some of us don't even have that)
That is all thank you good bye ♥️
It always grinds my gears wondering if some people can actually see a literal image in their head, like if they were seeing it with their eyes, or is it just the way they describe how their imagination works. I can imagine lots of stuff but it's always more of an uhh... multi-dimensional-thought?
Still blows my mind that people can see *anything* with their eyes closed. I just figured everyone saw black like I did until like 4 years ago when people started talking about it.
Sometimes when I get on a big writing kick I'll literally thrash about in my bed giggling uncontrollably as I claw at my head because the ideas are trying to escape.
