@Flutter_Lover I’m going to assume you’re having trouble drawing from memory as an adult. That’s merely bias from your part.
You’re not losing much retention nor absorption ability compared to you as a child. You’re just more picky of what you absorb and retain.
Your library of references and taste has developed so much from consuming art on a regular basis, but your skills aren’t as developed because you’re not practicing as hard as you consume.
This makes a wide gap between what you think is good and what you can produce. That gap makes the illusion that you did better as a child, when most probably you did as good or even better NOW as an adult.
If you’re a serious hobbyist / beginner artist (I assume you’re serious considering you bought Clip Studio Paint) then you should probably revisit your childhood art and improve on it, be critical towards it and you’ll find that you know and can do better than you did back then, even when drawing from memory.
