I think you're absolutely right about the spacial sort of 'vision' that many artists have. I know that when haleth draws something, it really takes me a long time to figure out what the heck is going on at first, but when it's finished, it is amazingly accurate. It's almost as if she starts out in space, drawing a shade here, a line there, and they seem not connected in any way whatsoever to each other or to the thing she is drawing, but when the thing is done, they're all still there and they all are perfectly in their place.
I tend to start with the most obvious features, like I always do the big round horse face first, then add two points on top for the ears. It's really kind of comical when I watch myself draw.
