Do i have aphantasia?

Well hey everyone
So…
The thing i have been researching on the memory techniques for quite some time now
And i did put it to some use
Like

Making 15palaces with 150locations each
Assigning pao for 00-99
Created mental markers for periodic elements
And finally now i was determined to commit it to my memory and
Its been 2 days that i have been trying to memorize them fr by visualization but when i close my eyes and try to visualise things
Its all black
I think of them but i dont see them

So am i aphantasiac? ( Idk wht a person wht aphantasia is called…i googled it but no avail
Even guys on reddit had on discussion abt it)

So to console myself i came up with something…
That
Should i give myself some time of 5-10 days in practicing visualization of objects by observing something and painting it
Maybe this will help my Brain to pay attention on the details and get comfortable with the colours to be able to imagine them
Or should i just leave my hopes of ever visualising anything

But man i have tried memorizing things using my Imagination and was able to grab some success
Like when i learnt alphabet in descending order
It was 2-3 months back when i just came to know about memory techniques
But i still remember the cues i used and where i put them in my palace without the voice inside me telling it to me i can just feel them but i don’t see them
Ig​:person_gesturing_ok::person_shrugging:
So is it tht i memorized them but not visualizing as much
But it was easy tho remembering them at once
Maybe coz
I made the cues interact with the location
So wht should i do man
I don’t see the images i guess i just feel them a little bit without the voice in my head reciting it to me in my brain

And how how is that man using a painting to derive 20-25 location
I mean yeah hes using body parts as location but its a painting how good is he at visualizing?
Can he see the painting with the same hue as on the canvas?!!

Aur bhartiye kitne h yaha par…heh??!
