Thank you and the other commenters too.

I used to do art for a living. Trying to get back into it

It definitely shows. I hope you are able to keep your passion for it too.

I feel like this should be a weekly contest or something, the comments here are fantastic.

As a fellow can't-visualise-anything-ist, it's possible to work around it! You just have to memorise a bunch of individual elements of the thing in question, elements that are individually simple enough to be remembered as descriptions. So like a horse's head is a sphere with a tapered cylinder on the front, the cylinder being about two thirds of the radius of the sphere narrowing to half the radius. Ish.

...or, like, use a reference. Drawing things from memory is not a skill I have suffered from lacking in my life

What I was implying was not that I couldn't draw a horse (I do art after all) but rather the fact that it's not truly recalling it from memory, which was what was asked.

All the more reason to do it. I'm very curious about what you'd come up with.
