I just recently realized I had Aphantasia, and I wanted to see if there are other anon on this board who have it too and how does it impact your drawing process. I haven't been able to draw at all for a couple of days as it's been on my mind ever since. Is there a way for me to cope?

everyone on /beg/ has aphantasia until they actually read loomis instead of drawing boxes.

holy fuck I can't unsee it now! I had a hard time with the apple test at first until I put an environment in, grassy field, having the green to contrast it let me see the apple easier for some reason. You'll get there buddy.

You're normal lmao, aphantasia is complete lack of visual memory, there is totally nothing in your mind's eye.

That's the thing anon, I just made the thread to see how other anons normally process things in their mind as I can't, and what I've been missing out on.
That's certainly not going to make me give up on art as I love drawing, but it got me really frustrated knowing that a majority of the population can visualize stuff while I can't. That would also make things easier for me, as for me art is literally mostly a matter of trial and errors since I have no idea how the final piece is going to look like (just a bunch of words put together and an extremely vague composition), I suck at designing too which is why I prefer drawing already existing characters. I struggle even figuring out the pose.

minds eye is a meme and people are liars and lie to themselves. there's a reason so many people bitch about how they can see something but can't draw it. they're still just thinking 'thick legs here' and if you want to draw you need better """resolution""" like feet here, knees here, hips here.

It's not a meme you idiot.

You can remember a song in your head but singing it correctly is another thing.

We visualize things in our minds all the time but we don't even notice it until we try to force it.

We fucking dream for fuck's sake.
Try this: when you're trying to get some sleep, imagine something in your mind that you would like to draw. You'll notice that the more sleepy you get the more vivid the image becomes.
The same occurs moments after you wake up.

This proves that you can do it, but like all other things, it's just something that needs really a lot of practice.

You can surely at least hum the tune though. You should be able to sing it really. Perfectly is another thing but no one expects you to draw perfectly from memory either

Aphantasia doesn't mean that you can't imagine anon, just that you cannot visualize things in your mind.

Yes. Look up how concept artists work. And then do that. Problem solved. If you can't use your brain to be creative, you can just be creative by working the same shit out on paper.

I love this board. All you anons bring joy to my
