Paul, I do it all the time. I hear without thinking about it too. Smell,
touch taste, etc. The point is that drawing is mostly a process of observing
or studying. It is done with the eyes and the brain more than with the
pencil. It is a skill that anyone can learn with careful observation and
practice.
People draw a preconceived image often without observing and that is when hay
discover that they are not really good at it. However, it is also true that
we are talking about a realistic approach to drawing. And aesthetics is a
big part of what we are talking about and I don't feel like going there right
now.
I go around all day long everyday saying "what is the most important thing
that we do in art?" , the kids know the answer is thinking with our brains.
Take care,
Narda
