>>4255401its kinda the same thing when you get to a "professional" level, you use the brain the same way when doing it. The only difference is time taken and choosing on the fly what to simplify. Actually to make it real easy you just squint your eyes and pick out the dominant shapes/colours.
in loose painting, you can simplify humans as vague blobs. But in realism, theres so much shit you have to get right. The fabric folds, the muscles, the anatomy. Its no less difficult. One wrong muscle and people who are learned can tell it straight away. Its ""easy"" when you paint from a photo or from real life, but many times its all from imagination with a few references to help out.
