Here's an amazon link.
A similar idea has been used by Pierre Bottero, a French novelist who unfortunately passed away in 2009. I grew up reading his books and he is one of the reasons I write fantasy.
Most of his novels take place in a secondary world called Gwendalavir, or are related to it in some ways.
In Gwendalavir there are people who master The Art of Drawing (L'Art du Dessin in French). They are called Drawers (Dessinateurs). Drawers have the ability to "manifest things by creating mental images of them". Their creations are called Drawings (Dessins). They are usually not eternal and tend to quickly disappear.
In order to Draw, they mentally travel through The Imagination (think colourful and magical spiritual dimension) by using Spires (think whorls), which are "lanes/roads" inside the Imagination. The farther a Drawer goes into the Imagination, the clearer the object they want to create becomes. The more complex the Drawing, the farther one needs to go inside the Imagination to actually bring it into reality. And the farther you go into the Imagination, the more physically taxing it gets.
A Drawer's power and his ease to Draw is determined by three characteristics: Will, Creativity and Power. These three must be as equal as possible in terms of proportion, and overall strong for a Drawer to be powerful.
The novels were originally written in French and there is no English translation I know of to date. But, a graphic novel adaptation of the first tome of the first trilogy was published in September:

Most of what you should know about The Art of Drawing and the Imagination is explained in the first book, so you may want to take a look. I personnally really like the idea, Bottero used it wisely and made it very coherent and consistent. There are many creative things to do with such a concept when you put rules to it. Hope it will give you some insight. :)
Cheers mate, and good luck!
