Yes! I think the same thing. Also, with edits, I think of oil paintings in that I already have the base of the image down, I just have to refine it.

Is it normal to like have ideas in your head but you just don’t know how to write them on the computer? Or your mind it just goes completely blank when you’re looking at the computer.

Currently working on a first draft and felt this to my core! It can be so intimidating but I just keep reminding myself that the first draft is just laying the foundation

I think I’m doing the sculpting the other way. Wireframe mesh. Editing is adding the outer layers. Hands are so haaaaarrd, though! 💖💖 Love the analogy!

This is a new way of thinking of it and I love it!! I always pictured shoveling sand in a box to later build sandcastles

I use a cooking analogy. First draft is putting all the ingredients out. Second draft is mixing them. Third draft is cooking it. Fourth draft is garnishing. The magic happens in the 2-3 draft.

This!! Esp when you carve a piece and then go back later and end up chipping away at it more/in a different way
