Your horse is left handed (left hoofed?)

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I think I did okay here for having drawn on a phone https://i.postimg.cc/DfPp3DvS/Screenshot-20240812-084704.jpg

Drawn on the whiteboard that @Mikina poted elsewhere in these comments

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I can't draw a horse if I'm looking right at one.

Really quick sketch and Iโ€™m not the best artist.

Not great sketch of a horse.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

๐Ÿ‘ for a real actual sketch

[โ€“] NeoNachtwaechter 4 points 4 months ago

I like the woodworking approach.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

As I was drawing the horse, a giant boa ate it.

So yes, there's a horse in this pic. Inside the boa's belly.

As a fellow can't-visualise-anything-ist, it's possible to work around it! You just have to memorise a bunch of individual elements of the thing in question, elements that are individually simple enough to be remembered as descriptions. So like a horse's head is a sphere with a tapered cylinder on the front, the cylinder being about two thirds of the radius of the sphere narrowing to half the radius. Ish.

...or, like, use a reference. Drawing things from memory is not a skill I have suffered from lacking in my life

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

What I was implying was not that I couldn't draw a horse (I do art after all) but rather the fact that it's not truly recalling it from memory, which was what was asked.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All the more reason to do it. I'm very curious about what you'd come up with.
