None of the above; I imagined a green apple >:[
Haha but to actually address the spirit of the question, it was a 1 for apples specifically, but that might've just been because I saw an apple recently
When I try to imagine something I didn't see recently (or straight up doesn't exist in reality), it's more like a 3 XD
I generally don't need to do a lot of trial and error when drawing nowadays, but I also don't feel like I struggle too much with getting the drawing to match my imagination (nowadays) c: Guess I got lucky :'D
