Imagine a stick man standing on top of a building and jumping off. In your mind’s eye, what colour was he drawn in and what colour was the background colour?

I see him drawn in white on a black background and I wonder if that’s because blackboards were used in school in my day.

I am interested to know what your colours are and whether that relates to what you used at school, or other thoughts.

I don’t have a mind’s eye, having aphantasia. I can’t visualize anything at all.

Oh yeah. Fair point. How do you know how to draw a stick man?

I don’t need to see something in my mind’s eye in order to draw it.

Fun fact: I used to have one but I think trauma killed it. I remember being able to visualize when I was a kid but it’s gone now. Another interesting thing about aphantasia is that I still have visual dreams. I just can’t do it at will when awake.
