ok i suddenly had a thought and got curious
visual artists: when you have an idea for something, does it appear in your mind as the finished product, the steps you'll have to take, a sentence, or something else?
finished thing (i saw an image of an apple in my head so that's what i'll draw)
steps (if i draw an apple, i'll draw a circle as a guide first, then...)
sentence (i should draw an apple being picked from a tree)
a combination of these (tell me in the tags!!)
something else (also tell me in the tags!!!!)
not a visual artist, just curious.
i have aphantasia (i can't see images in my brain) so i just like hearing how other people visualize ideas LOL also hopefully the examples i wrote make sense it's kind of hard to put into words but ehhhh
Hmmm, Itās hard to explain (even more bc English not my first language)
But itās like, the great majority of the times I imagine something finishedā¦, just not exactly finished. The initial idea is vague, and sometimes it just evolves by the time Iām deciding in my art process, I guess? Iāve always thought that make art is taking decisions and the final idea is something that you construct
Sometimes a word or a sentence is what I need? But Iām pretty sure the image is there, even when it is born for a sentence or situation
There are few times the idea is so potent and resonates enough to be so clear in my mind and I just, well, spit it on the paper. But this is the exception, not the rule
Andā¦, to think about stepsā¦, is something curious, like, yeah, I definitely ask myself how to do things,
#I imagine something similar as an apple #but the apple take form completely when my hand doodles #until itās polished enough to be clear #you made me overthink #is it complicated #or am I complicated? #Im just autistic, probably
