ELI5: If my brain controls my hands, why can't I draw things as well as I can see them in my mind?

Because the first thing your brain does with an image is interpret it. It does not see the outline of a nose it sees "(symbol for) nose", which is a simplified version. So when you try to recreate this, you get "(symbol for) nose", which only looks more or less like "(outline of) nose".

Artists need to learn to "see differently", to make their brain stop interpreting, so to say. Draw what you see, not what your brain thinks it sees.
