I draw and paint every day, and believe it or not I approach art in the same way. I can get flashes of what something looks like finished but they're somewhat distant feeling.

My friend has aphantasia and it's really hard for me to believe how difficult that must be. I've asked him... "so you can't even picture your parents face in your mind???" and he says no. That must be crazy...
