I think many non-artists underestimate how much observation is involved. You're constantly studying shapes, lighting, anatomy, expressions, and composition, even when you're not actively drawing

Haha, exactly! To everyone else it looks like we're staring into space, but we're actually analyzing shadows, proportions, edges, and all kinds of little details. It's funny how studying art changes the way you look at everyday things.

Thats a tough one. I would say in my experience people see my art (mainly on discord) and think I can do a completely diffrent style be it super realistic portraits to dbz characters. And ir would only take like 10 mins -_-
