--Bobby chui has some decent videos where he talks about visualization on his channel. One thing that makes a huge difference in whether you're able to visualize or not is how you make your initial lines. If you do neat, clean outlines and try to nail things from the getgo you don't give your mind enough room to interpret what you've drawn, so you don't visualize. VIsualization is about figuring out what part of your drawing you're already confident in and feeling your way forward from there.

--@hobbit; I also plan ahead otherwise it becomes utter chaos. I usually have a sketch with values besides it. But somewhere in the process I loosen the accuracy and everything becomes a mess

--Doing watercolors is deceivingly hard! I watched that Iain Mccaig watercolor demo a million times and said to myself 'that looks easy enough'! Boy, far from the truth. The colors spread like crazy. Have to wait for things to get dry to slap on a different hue.. Colors look different when they dry. There are too much chaos to work with!

--Hmm fair enough. I started a watercolour portrait last night, the sketch I did for it was fine. But the anatomy of the watercolour is total dissaster. It's frustrating :/

--a relevant howard pyle quote "It is easy enough to learn to draw; it is very difficult to learn to think"

--probably the hardest part is that its so easy to draw from muscle memory without thinking

--From the violent tone I got from her last SB reply, she'd probably tell you guys to punch that problem right in the balls. Haha!
