i am an artist with aphantasia.
I’d like to state beforehand that is not complete aphantasia, I can still visualize stuff, I’m just extremely shitty and vague at doing so.
It’s hard. One of my greatest weaknesses is that I cannot draw without something to look at. I can think or concept of a picture, I know what I want it to look like, but my brain simply doesn’t process proportions or details. It turns out wonky and wrong.
(Yes, I’ve studied proportions. It’s not lack of study.)
As you may expect, I’m very good at copying images loll. It’s a little boring, so my favorite thing to do is to merge a bunch of pictures and go from there. At the end of the day, I think I can still create some pretty pieces.
