I have a question, I asked it on Discord, but I never got an answer:
I'm struggling with how my constructions don't match the references of the plants and how that ends up making the leaf-edges feel completely wrong... Is this normal?
I have experience painting from observation, so I'm sure that is what is throwing me off here, because I see how my drawing in no way resemble the reference... This makes me feel like my attempts are total failures very early in my progress.
I end up trying to tweak the mistakes and that creates a lot of clutter since I am not allowed to use an erasable medium

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
