Drawing from imagination can be hard...especially when you have aphantasia! In this lesson I share my creative process for drawing from imagination when you can’t mentally visualize imagery.

Thank you for taking the time to talk us through this and give a demonstration, @Irshad Karim . Most of my ideas come in words, and this has made for some communication challenges with my private tutor when he wanted me to just draw what's in my mind quickly as thumbnails. It's also been confusing for attempting "memory drawings" because I'm just constructing things, not really "remembering" what they look like. I know there was a counter there. A counter from this POV should be something like this. There were things on it, etc. There've been a lot of studies over the past few decades about how all memory is really reconstructed, so I've been trying to let this be okay - but before watching your video I was still embarrassed and feeling a lot of stress and pain about it, enough to prevent my doing the work in the absence of immediate consequences. You've shown me another path, one much better than "maybe you shouldn't be an artist." 💖💖💖
