      Very interesting: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47830256 … I had only recently heard about aphantasia and wondered if it hindered people learning to draw--or if learning to draw could fix it--but looks like even top animators can have it so neither is true.

      Pretty sure I’ve got aphantasia, but never had a problem drawing. Always got confused when people talked about picturing things in their mind!

      Actually, that's what this article was saying too. I'd always thought not being able to visualize meant you couldn't draw, but turns out that's not true. But, do you mean "draw what I see" or "draw from imagination"?

      I’m fine at both. No great artist, but that’s from lack of practice more than anything! Hard to describe, but I can imagine without picturing. Eg I can “imagine” a beach, and lay out a scene spatially without ever “seeing” anything visual. Not sure that makes sense…

      It does, and seems to be common. I'm going to bet you kind of use the paper as your visual system. Now, here's a trick: What if you just imagine drawing on paper in your mind? Can you do that?

          Hmm not easily. If I try and imagine drawing something I feel a very strong desire to move my hand to match. Forcing myself to stay still feels very uncomfortable like I’m being held down, bizarrely.

          Wait, go ahead and do that. Move your hand, it could be the bridge that makes it work.
