Did you do value grouping within each individual character or on the whole spread? I can see it at both levels actually.
Your aphantasiac dialogs do ring that sneaky bell. What I can see in my mind is movement (body and things), I can also picture a comic page layout and the composition of the panels with relative ease, it's part of storytelling, but I can't picture a character's features until I put the pencil to the paper, even if I have drawn this character a hundred times before. Now I wonder if the visualisation is there, but repressed in the subconscious, or it is truly absent. If a pencil stroke goes off, I see it immediately, there must be something in there that has a representation.
You see dark and light, that's a very strong point because it touches not only on volume but also lighting, which is a thorny phenomenon. Now I expect more value grouping explorations from you on large pieces :)
Also, I'm waiting to see your comic layouts.
