That's pretty normal in my experience as someone who went to art school. My best guess is that your "visualization" is a high-level representation that actually isn't detailed enough for the purposes of putting down on paper.
Most artists rely on rules of thumb (head proportions, etc.), practice, and looking at references to be able to draw people, animals, and other "difficult" things.

Thank you for letting know. It explains a lot. But what is the distinction between "visualisation" and "high-level representation"? It's still a relative thing, I presume, since there is no standards for it and it's certainly not in the same "level" across all artists.
- huffmsa 8y agoNot saying there is a distinction, rather "visualization" is a scale of different levels of fidelity, "high level representation" being on the lower resolution end. And drawing / painting for the majority of people is 95% education and practice. Some people have a knack for it, but almost anyone can learn to draw high fidelity people / cars / faces / animals with proper tutelage.
