ABANDONED HIDEOUT

Eurogin What works for me is to draw something (maybe from 2 or 3 different reference images, just loose but trying to keep the proportions accurate).

Next - important - write down notes next to it (notes just guessing things like 'this side part is about 1/3rd of the length, width is about double this other part' etc and writing down about the texture, overlapping parts etc - anything that seems important to me, stuff that 'represents' this thing - like a Church has a steepled roof and a cross on the top).

Then draw the same thing from memory, maybe from a different angle. Then, the important step for remembering it is to draw it again from memory the next day / then next few days / then next week.

We remember things best when we pull them from our memory right at the point when we were about to forget. So drawing things from memory at 1 day then 1 week then 1 month after the first time tries to hit that 'just about to forget' time.

If you want to remember something very precisely - like human skull or something - do the same process but just do more reference drawings, make more notes and do more memory drawing at shorter time intervals.

That's just what works for me anyway.
