Literally all drawing is symbol drawing. Good artists just swap out their bullshit made-up symbols with refined symbols

>realism
Replace made-up symbols with realistic symbols

>anime
Replace made-up symbols with anime symbols

>KJG larpers
Draw good symbols from memory

You only truly disengage symbol drawing when you need to learn new symbols.

The "you are symbol drawing" is so misused in this board that it has become just a meme or an offense.

nope. that's stylization
symbol drawing like those egyptian drawings where the figure is facing left and its eye is drawn like it's seen from the front then the torso is from the front and the legs and feet are to the side
if you draw a figure whose face is in 3/4 and you also draw the eyes, nose and mouth in 3/4 then it's not symbol drawing

nahhhh what you're doing is confusing the end result for the process. A beginner symbol draws. An advanced artist has a high level spatial model within their mind and when they draw, they're essentially doing shorthand via symbols of those models. The end results look similar, but the way they came about it and the things happening in the brain are vastly different. If you were to scan the brain of a beginner vs a pro you'd see completely different regions lighting up.
