How do I get better at holding an image in my mind’s eye? As soon as I look away from the reference I can’t remember what it looked like well enough to draw it, I’m constantly dependent on looking at the reference every other second

You could try to train drawing without a reference. Like, make a drawing using a reference for a certain amount of time, then do the same drawing again for the same amount of time. Compare the two and the reference, try to understand what were your mistakes, rinse and repeat.
