For those who are curious as to what it's like living with aphantasia
Added 2024-08-01 00:16:23 +0000 UTCI really like this "Tone Deaf" video. It was made as a joke but it really accurately describes what it's like to not be able to "take in" some kind of medium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWxcP6gtK4c
If you didnt know, I am an artist with aphantasia, I am unable to imagine things I havnt seen before. Arts been a huge struggle and it's taken all my brain power to develop ways to draw without using the traditional fundamentals, shapes, or having an imagination.
Artists were amazing to me growing up because it was like watching Superman. You will never fly or beat up bad guys and thats what makes him amazing. It's so incredible to be drawing here with you all now and I hope to do this forever! I just want people to know that even if you cant do something it doesnt mean theres only one way to go about it!
If anyone has any questions or has aphantasia themselves and wants to talk about things I'm here!!
