A "Guide" to working with artists with aphantasia
(specifically me)

A healthy dose of both written and visual information is needed, but the percentage of which heavily depends on the type of commission and how familiar I am with the characters.- Is it an illustration of a scene between two character? Descriptive information on the scene, the emotions, general vibe, dialogue are more important to the composition - but visual references on each character (and their characteristics), the space, the palette, and any objects would be needed.- Is it a reference sheet commission? Descriptive information is no longer as important, and the main focus is on the visuals. Descriptive information would be limited to a brief description of personality, placement of certain markings, and/or the written information on the reference. Visuals would be EVERYTHING - every single aspect of that character would need a reference.Google Docs, Google Drives, PDFs, Character pages (Toyhou.se or Refsheet.net) is an easy way to compile both written and visual information in one place!

What is some good visual information to compile for your characters?

Physical

Face Claims are extremely helpful - and it’s okay to have more than one!
It’s good to specify which parts of what reference are important to your character

Items

Here is an example of how I organize my Pinterest boards for my own Ocs:

Appearance: Every single visual reference I would need for their physical appearance. Faceclaims, hair styles/texture/colours, facial hair, body types, hand shapes, nose shapes, lip shapes, eye shapesAesthetic: Helpful for illustrations. Palettes and aesthetics that I attribute to these characters. Art styles, symbols, colours, settings, etc...Outfits: Outfits and accessories. Full outfits or single items, textures, colours, patterns.

Please Keep In Mind

I cannot work with only drawn references in simple stylesFROM MY TOS:6.2 Character References❖ At least one reference provided for premade characters must either be drawn and/or be photographs of real people.❖ If the only references provided are from video games (be they cannon characters or PCs) or a Piccrew there will be a 5% increase on the total price of the commission.

What is some good written information to compile for your characters?

Written information can vary from commission to commission; unless the illustration is based off a story, I don’t need a novel to be written about the piece.Being dyslexic also makes it a struggle for me to parse through written information - I tend to have to break it down outside of the initial commission submission to fully understand.I also tend to ask a ton more questions when I’m provided more written information than visual - revisions take time and energy.It’s important to have visual to accompany your written info:
