Don't lose hope! I linked this article in another comment in this thread. You may be surprised to learn that the co-founder of Pixar and many of the animators they surveyed internally also have aphantasia. [0]
I have been learning how to draw over the last 2.5 years, since discovering both that I also have aphantasia and that some of the best animators in the world do, too. I always thought it was unapproachable for the same reasons. I started with the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain."
