If people actually saw complete images in their minds, they’d be far easier to recreate and I think everyone would be more artistically inclined.
People can’t even draw stuff that is sitting in front of them, in real life, unless they’ve practiced. There’s a lot more involved in drawing than just knowing what something looks like.
edit: Thinking about it, it might be good to expand on that a bit. Unfortunately I can’t. It really is “it doesn’t work like that” and I am unable to explain how it does work. I draw, I don’t write, sorry.

Not being flippant here: If you can actually see it, why not just see it on the paper and essentially trace what you see?
I can’t speak for others, but it’s not overlaid like that. It’s like a separate visual part of my brain.
Because that’s not how drawing works.
