>inb4 just draw
I do draw but I don't have much time to draw but I have time to observe, work is strict when it came to my hobby.

Probably to a certain extent, but it'd be similar to watching how a racecar driver drives, and expecting to be able to do similarly because you also know how to operate a car. In the end, practice makes perfect, and lack of practice will make you atrophy, even if you're observing others.
If you're observing how people draw, try some no stress doodling along with them, it's better than doing nothing.

you kinda need a high level of proficiency before that kind of mental-only practice becomes effective
pro athletes do it as well

From what is this? I disagree you will suck really hard no matter how much you think about it or "draw in your head". The best reality check is to go to life drawing.

won't work if you don't already have a high enough level of expertise. beginners will over estimate their abilities. they don't know what they don't know so they'll make a lot of wrong assumptions about what it will be like to actually do it. you would need a lot of actual experience to get anything out of this.
psychologically it will scratch your itch to draw without you actually drawing so it will probably hurt your more than help you.

No.

Yes, that's what I do, everything is in my head, including the success and followers, it looks so real.

Of course. The less you draw the better you get.

You can do a billion cubes in your mind then you won't be able to draw a straight line because you don't have the muscle memory.

ART IS A SPORT, not a theoretical science. You read the rules once, you put them in practice ten hours a day every day for the rest of your life and maybe someday you'll be worth a shit.

you can find answers by looking around or by sheer luck, to questions you find when working at the easel.

you need both

You cannot apply what you see without knowing how that feels when transferred through your hands.

In other words, no, you can't become a god just by looking at masters of their craft. You have to draw yourself to understand drawing itself.
