can you even draw from the imagination? wouldn't you keep remembering images and things you've seen and use those for reference?

>>3050502
yes. but the worse that knowledge is, the longer it'll take you to get good just by using imagination.

I think you'll only really get much better if you seek out the mistakes in your art and compare them to reality/better artists if you're going for a certain stylized look.
