And the video is finally out, on Proko's channel!"

My abilities to visualize things is pretty shit. Weed enhances it a little, but usually not in a controllable way. Shrooms haven't made me see anything other than distortions.

I do find that when I'm in that between space about to fall asleep, I can sometimes catch a moment of more controlled dreaming, and I do get visuals / a stronger sense of what's happening, but they're not "crisp".

So, I can totally see a ball or square as 3d. Simple shapes are okay. My main problem though is looking at a person, or an animal, and seeing shapes underneath it. Like in this, for example, I get that you used a sphere to represent the shoulder and upper front arm. (er, leg.)

But whenever I draw animals, I can't see where I would draw that sphere, or the upper-body sphere, for example.

I have a lot of trouble recognizing forms that make up a figure. Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to get into that? I feel like I'm just drawing 2D circles that overlay what I'm looking at, not drawing the forms underneath.
