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

The words come first, like a narrative. I can tell myself “you’re sat at a desk, paper in front of you” and I can orient that spatially, then tell myself “you’re drawing an apple” or something and motion drawing that. If I want to “see” the drawing then i have to “step into it”…

… so that it takes up the whole spatial field. Again, hard to describe a spatial feeling with no visual component. Like when you close your eyes you “know” where things are in the room without being able to see them. Like walking in the dark?
