>closing your eyes and blocking out reality in order to imagine something not in reality

What? Why? That's two extra steps.
It makes sort-of sense if they're trying to hallucinate an apple in front of them. But not for pictures "in your mind".


And 2 3 7 4 are the exact same.
1 = nothing
2/3/4 = various simplifications
5 = (as close to) the real thing (as you can get)

And the only difference between 2/3/4 and 5 is exposure to / experience with the visual.
Mb ask people answering 2 & 3 to visualize something they're more familiar with?

I don't think anyone can close their eyes and see a vivid apple projected into their eyelids like it's a movie. I sure don't, when my eyes are closed all I see is black. But I can imagine an apple rotating, a character holding it and taking a bite. I can imagine how characters are placed in a scene, their facial expressions and how they move. I can translate a character design I imagine onto paper. It's a weird mix of only seeing black, but I can see these things in the back of my mind.

I think people are mistaking "I only see black when I close my eyes!" as "I can't imagine at all!".

Best way to describe Aphantasia is like your brain is a computer without a monitor. It runs fine, but there's not a way to visualize your concepts other than physically recreating them. I would know, I do art bc I can't visualize ( - v - ; )

I can actually imagine an object and rotate it in my mind. But I need to be relaxed for it. And I don't need to close my eyes for it when I'm really calm.

When I'm stressed out I just get a clipshow of whatever zooms through my mind and it gets incredibly distracting because I can't control it. So instead of getting an image of an apple I get images of disgusting shit or completely unrelated stuff.
I realized when I get a migrane and I take tylenol my mind is super calm though and I can get razor sharp imagination without any distractions. But since tylenol fucks up your liver I don't make that a habitual thing.
The other extreme I noticed is that when smoking weed I see absolutely nothing. Like my inner eye is absolutely blank. So the entire "lmao creativity and drugs" thing is bullshit for me at least.

How are various simplifications the exact same you utter brainlet retard?

2 is a cartoon version of an apple, a simplified but fairly accurate representation of a real apple.

4 is the silhouette of an apple without any further information

This is more or less how the images appear in my mind when I try to think of a "lion". I can focus on parts, but the whole falls apart.

When you dream of an apple you actually see the apple in your sleep in your dream as you would see it with your eyes in real life, don't you?

They're all variations on "without any further information".
They're different abstractions on an apple. The outline, the color, the shading / how light interacts, a cartoon, whatever. They are all PARTS of 5.
>Or rather, parts of how you could try to represent 5 (an actual apple) if you were to paint/draw it.

I didn't mean they're all literally the same image and I'm blind, help me, I meant that they are all the exact same CLASS of visual, but different aspects/expressions/subsets of it.

It's not about just imagination, it's about visuals. Apparently some people imagine things in their minds without seeing them and others are on a 24/7 controllable LSD trip as if they were lucid dreaming while being awake.

just to add on to this, I've supposedly got autism and I can visually see images when I close my eyes and stare into the darkness. It looks like those paintings that look very detailed but upon further inspection you see that they're actually kinda fuzzy and made in such a way to let the viewer fill in the details. Not very useful because I can't draw with my eyes closed.
Also for some reason they're only that color that you see when you glance at the sun for an instant too long and get a spot in your vision.

I mostly rely on what I would consider the normal kind of imaginative thinking, where I don't literally "see" anything with my eyes but I can figuratively see it inside of my head. It's like my brain is feeling what I'm imagining; is this what Vilppu meant when he said to feel the form?

Im at 4, i cant really imagine a full detailed image, only 60% close up of the apple if i think of the texure, but i can spin it around easily in 3 dimensions if only imagining the general shape
That could explain why I can never render full images properly and have to resort to multiply layers, i can only render faces comfortably, perhaps i could improve on that someday

That's incorrect representation on how imagination works. You see sets of intermittent images suggesting what the desired object should look like. With this approximate image in mind, you begin your draftsman work, building and correcting it's form as you go.

If you someone has aphantasia they can probably subconciously do geometry and algebra, while understanding how perspective translates to what is shown on the paper, you can probably get by as an artist.

I don't have aphantasia, but that sort of what I do when drawing, I'm not even exceptional at math, my biggest problem is drawing in proportion, but I could probably overcome that by thinking of the paper as a viewpoint through a camera.

My philosophy to getting better at drawing is to think of it as a science of projecting a 3d object onto a 2d surface, which no matter how bad someone is at drawing, it's theoretically possible to do.

so if you had 1 would that mean you'd never need to study what something looks like and you just already know? if so then all an artist would need to worry about is proper line control and hand/eye coordination. that's too good to be true. even people like kim jung gi had to force himself to get an idea of what something looks like and only did after drawing them all out.

I don't know know how else to explain to you that in between the top and the bottom there is the middle, no matter where in the middle the middle is, it's not the top or the bottom.

1 - Nothing
2 - some stuff
3 - more stuff
4 - more stuff
5 - actual image

I also interpreted the scale as
1 - nothing
2 - just the shape/outline / a gesture
3 - shadow / contour
4 - color study
5 - putting it all together into a realistic piece
Like if you were learning to draw an apple - how you might break down the process. Since this is supposedly a place where people learn to draw.

I know there's an increase in complexity. There's also a difference in style/method.

All you're doing is saying "No, you can't group things this way." or "You can't have two interpretations."
Which is fine, I guess. I was hoping for more of a comment than "NO" in a bunch of words, but whatever. "NO" received and understood. (Also lol I got that third "retard"). Have a good day dude. Please get some practice done.

You said they (2,3 & 4) are "the exact same thing". An apple is a thing. Abstraction is not a thing, it's a concept. Even as abstractions they are DIFFERENT from each other though, which is the opposite from being "the exact same". They are all an abstraction but not the same level, so it's really not appropriate to use the word exact.

I believe this is true. for instance, I work sales and my boss is always pushing me to make more phone calls rather than emails. I understand why and I try to, but a lot of the time verbal information gets lost on me and I have to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. that’s not a problem my boss can understand, and of course I’m not going to explain that to him because he’ll just think I suck at my job. whereas when I correspond via email, I can pretty much memorize it and I like having proof of what was said. I can also draw an image from memory which is helpful in some cases, but I really wish I were better at talking to people. most customers aren’t checking their email 24/7 and they definitely aren’t asking me to draw pictures for them. it kind of blows my mind when I witness someone just making a phone call and retaining all the info without having to write it all down. my desk is cluttered with notes and things. but yeah, never been diagnosed with autism/assburgers but I also haven’t been to a doctor in years because our healthcare system is fucked.
