While aphantasia may not affect my creative thinking, it makes it practically impossible for me to physically visualise objects*. At most, I'm able to describe things to myself by remembering how they should look with words instead of visually seeing how they look in my mind.
This style of art is a great way to cope with that, as quite often mistakes can easily be integrated into the design and it's quite simple to create, using illusions and architecture instead of detailed character designs or environments.
*It doesn't get rid of dreams or terrors though. This is because dreaming uses a different part of the brain, which aphantasia doesn't affect (in my case).
To explain though, I really don't consider myself an artist (in this sense, anyway) and I don't want to be one either. I have bigger passions and talents for programming, especially when it comes to game engines and everything about gameplay.
I draw to waste time, in a way, and these simple lines mixed with the geometry create something that looks hard to make, but honestly isn't. My aphantasia makes it hard for me to envision art, and this style lets me create anything at my own pace without having to worry about planning things out beforehand.
