When it comes to creating animations or drawings, it's simple. I just... pick up a pen, get on whatever program I use and draw. My specialty is drawing anime-ish, or character drawings, and so most of what I draw is humanoid... Now when it comes to animations, of course it is a little more complicated than just "drawing" because that takes even more time. Knowing keyframes and deciding what style of animation I want to go is important, and it's what I think about every time I begin a project. I say this for all the art sections, but just in case it isn't clear enough, everything EXCEPT the backgrounds 'sometimes' that I post are all created by my hands, and that's because I take a lot of pictures in real life and then use AI filters on those pictures. And even then, I can create my own backgrounds from scratch without the use of AI if I wanted to, although that of course takes even more time than just using AI "slop." But if I just need to get a quick scene with a character that I drew, or only the final results matter, then that is one way I do things.

3D modeling on the other hand? Well that's another beast that I have to tackle. Instead of thinking on a 2D plane, I have to think 3D of course, meaning needing to imagine an object or being from all sorts of angles rather than translating on paper through my hands. Depending on the goal, so far I only know how to sculpt characters, and a little bit on retopology for after the said sculpts on the computer. If it's hard to imagine, just imagine a real life clay or snow you have in your hands and you have to mold it into what you are imagining. That's basically the simplest way I can describe how I do 3D modeling right now, even though I just began doing 3D modeling.
