Is it impossible to draw what you can perceive in your mind? For years I've been chasing after the images my mind conjurs up; but again and again, I fail to capture it and put into paper. Is it just not possible?

The more you can draw what you see, the more you will be able to draw what is conceptually in your head. Have you taken any drawing classes? Even a beginning drawing class for a semester would help you conceptualize and draw what is in your mind's eye much easier.

There are two ingredients here. Ability and medium.
Your ability to capture something and put it somewhere else may be the problem or the fact that there is no set of paints or chalks or whatever that can be used to capture the images in your mind.
Ability comes with practice and developes quickly or slowly depending on the person. Mediums on the other hand must be experimented with to find something that yields the look you want.
You may spend your life not being able to achieve the goal you want in art but always remember the journey is what is important.

It varies from person to person. Generally imagining power is high for most of the peoples. But putting it in a paper requires more coordination with your hands. First start drawing things you see and develop your mind-hand coordination, then it will be easy for you to draw the things you perceive.

There are 2 factors precise right here. skill and medium. Your skill to snatch something and positioned it some position else would nicely be the mission or the reality that there is not any set of paints or chalks or in spite of which could be utilized to snatch the images on your recommendations. skill comes with practice and developes right now or slowly staring on the guy. Mediums on the distinct hand will be experimented with to discover something that yields the look you flow with. you would possibly want to spend your life not being waiting to comprehend the objective you flow with in paintings yet consistently bear in recommendations the adventure is what's substantial.

Begin small. Start with one part of an image, study what that looks like in real life. Copy what someone else has drawn that is similar to what you want. Then do your own take. Thats how all the great masters learned!

Oh I like this question...I have this problem too. I'll have this gorgeous image in my head but it gets lost somewhere in translation when I go to put it on paper. I wonder why it's easy for some and more difficult for others? Makes me wonder if it has something to do with our thought process and how we transfer images and thoughts into written communication.

TRYING VIEWING IT IN BLACK & WHITE>>THEN START SHADING IN ..outlines and shadows..it might help you remember and draw out the image better.

because your hand isn't that tamed to draw...and the picture in your mind doesn't give every detail.
