Exactly my experience too. These fleeting images are rare, but bloody hell it feels like cheating at life if most people can summon up visualisations like that at will.

Watching someone clearly just transfer what's in their mind to a drawing is just jaw-dropping to me.

I can't recall it ever being useful outside of physics and geometry questions tbh
