Once I decide to draw, I think about what, and then I create another me in my mind, another me, aka mini-me will traveling through the space of what I want to draw.
I have trained myself to be able to recall images, a habit of always observing helps to remember more.
Understanding what you are drawing is more important. Once you understand the subject matter, you'll be able to remember it longer, manipulate it and apply your own design.
Don't draw what you see, draw what you have seen.
When he starts drawing, he imagines a perspective grid or a box containing the object he's about to draw, because a box defines those 3 axes.
I'm referencing every stroke I'm making as actually being a prospective guideline in itself. I always try to pay attention to the angles in the perspective that I'm making. Anything that is parallel to the plains of this box will follow these angles.
The box you've seen right now is the first image that I float in my head when I try to draw different characters in different perspectives. I improved really fast once I had understood the shape of the cube.
An exercise he recommends everyone does it to look at an object from one angle and draw it from several other angles. You should be able to draw any angle you imagine.
I would tell my students to imagine things as if it was so real that you could smell it. The purpose of this is to fully immerse themselves into whatever they're drawing.
I found myself being more detached from simple lines. I used to draw a lot of underlying pencil sketches and I left a lot of lines in them.
