As an illustrator turned author, I know this is true. 
Illustration is all about telling a story in one instant of the whole timeline.
In writing, I try to take that with me and put as much of the story into each scene as possible.
I'm pretty good at imagining the scene because of my work in illustration.
So it helps.
Anyway, I will add this:
