I thought I could use my mind's eye until I read similar threads.
I have a vivid imagination but it turns out it's all conceptual. I don't see an apple. I see a mostly circle shape. It's either green or red. Maybe yellow.
I can't draw well but I can draw anything. I know the concepts and can poorly draw the approximate.
- nabakin 3y agoI find that I visualize things vaguely/abstractly by default but I can put a bit of effort in thinking about the detail of the object I'm trying to imagine and then I can see that detail. So I might imagine an Apple as a circle but if I need it in more detail, I put more effort into it, recalling the detail and able to see the red, the stem, peel it with a small knife, add a chunk taken out because it was bitten, etc.
