>“Symbol drawing” as a concept, [...], originates from Betty Edwards. It refers to looking directly at something, trying to draw it but having the unexamined “idea” we have about something take over instead of the eye. >It is the default mode of children. One generally needs to be instructed (how) not to do it. Construction and indicating form from imagination, through various methods and techniques, is actually quite often a sophisticated form of “symbol drawing”. [,..] You see it quite often for example in hands where people have the two middle fingers together and the index and pinky doing whatever. It’s rarely found irl but it makes the hand easier to draw. [...]>If you want stop symbol drawing it pretty much HAS to be done from actual close observation.>This rarely employs a great deal of line work and tends to focus on shapes and mass, usually separated into light and dark. Or if using lines, you can experience freedom from symbol drawing by copying another drawing or a handwriting example etc while turning it upside down. >That way your mind cant superimpose preconceived ideas because all the lines will be arranged in a semi-random way. TL;DR Foot lacks form. Shoes need reference.
