Drawing and painting

Drawing from memory asks you to hold an image in mind and match it with your hand, which is exactly what's hard with aphantasia. It isn't a lack of talent. Practical routes include drawing from a reference, tracing or projecting an image, working abstractly in color and shape, or starting from a photo and changing it. One study found that people with aphantasia struggled to reproduce specific objects from memory but kept their sense of layout. Using a reference isn't a lesser way to make art, since the canvas doesn't know how the image got there.

CJ Stewart's book covers his own painting and tracing workarounds.
