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.
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.
