Aaron, thanks for sharing these useful tips. I wonder if you’d be so kind as to elaborate on how you gained your imaginative drawing ability. It’s one thing to interpret what’s in front of you but quite another to design something suggestive from imagination. Revisiting the steps you took in your artistic development to reach your present drawing ability would be useful and fascinating.
