Ross being an artist let alone an animator with no imaginatory vision is like the house being held together by wet tape, sticks, and a lil glue *its wonderful*

[@TotoDG]

There might be a lot of draft sketching in his drawing process, so it might not be _too_ hard to overcome. Plus, I guess he still has memory vision, which is how he can remember how he draws the characters.

[@thatonerandomguy2374]

He is using his own logic

[@charliecrome207]

... but designed by Leonardo Da Vinci

[@mcsnapperdapple1719]

I also have aphantasia and the way I see it drawing is our expression of imagination in contrast to the way people inherently have in their minds

He can't visualize at all, (Aphantasia) so he more remembers instructions to draw or features.

I was wondering how ross would do with this, considering he has aphantasia. Not gonna lie he did pretty good all things considered.

[@oamioxmocliox8082]

;)

[@Zalied]

It's a weird thing to have because like obviously you still remember what things look like so it's so hard to explain to people who don't have it how you know. The issue comes from minor details usually if you can see something you can say oh this parts wrong it's gotta be smaller here curved here or whatever. But since he can't see it he can't make those visual based adjustments until it's drawn and he can see it. While everyone else can basically do that before drawing.

[@teinili]

I think the hardest thing is color at least for me because when "normal" people imagine stuff they also see the color right?

[@Zalied]

@@teinili idk what's most common theirs a cool chart with a star example full color is only like 1 of 6 options faded color is another 2 the other 4 are not colored but that doesn't mean color isn't the main. I can do it all visually color movement eyes open anything

@@cybovrox2551 honestly? If you can take surreal art and topics watch Umami. The art style isn't what people would call beautiful (although I would) and yet it tells an ethereally interesting story that has its fanbase. Even if you don't think your art is good in a visual sense that is usually not what matters in the end. What matters is the passion and dedication or vision behind it.

Idea for a future gartic episode Themed normal mode: name, rank and intention. Where you state an original characters name rank/title, and intention. For example, the prompt is "bobathon, destroyer of curtains, a quiet life for once" But once its drawn someone had to give that character a new name, rank and intention that they think suits them like "YipYap, lone wanderer, flirting with everything that moves" I feel like this has potential to be really funny if it isn't too confusing
