That makes me feel better about posting here and taking up your space and time. I will check the courses for sure. I opened the website and explored a bit already.
So if I understood you correctly it's all about understanding the foundations and basic shapes and "layer" on them in order to make the 3D picture. and you also need to train your eye on how things "interact" in a space.
like when they give me a sketch of a dress and no measurements I need to be able to roughly say how wide are the straps, how with is the waist line seam and where to place decorative cuts and details, in order to make an accurate flat pattern and bring the dress to life. But now it's reversed, I need to look at the dress and draw the lines in a way that people can understand what it really looks like without looking at said dress.

oh wow! You have no idea how much I appreciate this comment! Thank you and thanks for the suggestion of a more appropriate subreddit. I didn't know where to post.
Yeah I think I'm more to the other end of the spectrum. I have a very vivid imagination and my visual memory is good. for e example I suck at navigation but I'm great with making a visual map in my braim and remember locations, landmarks etc. after I take a path towards somewhere I remember almost everything on the way and can describe them in detail. Many have said that my metaphors are very much on point, very "alive" and sometimes poetic and my description of things around me detailed, vivid and accurate. My dreams also are often super realistic where I confuse them with reality and they might even create false memories. like one I had about breaking my phone screen and I had to check if that actually happened. I don't know if ADHD plays a part in it. maybe cause I have my attention on everything at all times?
So essentially due to your condition you don't know it until you see it. and I was wondering if I was hiding the object and just focusing of one corner of the image would help? I did some drawings with a grid to copy famous paintings in art class at high school. that seem to work well. cause you focus on that little part of the object that's essentially nothing. it's just a line, shadows and curves.
I will definitely post to the other subreddit too and thanks a tone for the advice and video link!
