Thank you very much for the honest critique! It is something that I notice in many of my older videos, that I bable a lot or repeat myself often, just to say the same thing or something unimportant. Nowadays I try to at least be aware of that flaw and maybe avoid it more.
Cool, so you've seen the interview :D You'll love it! I currently arrived at a whole bunch of weird landscapes. Well, if they are landscapes..... who can tell?
it was Proko interviewing the famous comic artist Tim Gula, actually... it was Tim who did the meditation exercise. i love your drawings, btw. no1 and no3 particularly. i've done quite a number myself now, after watching that video, and for someone who hasn't drawn much of anything besides technical drawings for about 20 years, it's awoken a whole world of imagination for me. i highly recommend it to anyone who feels 'stuck' in any part of your life, no matter what it might be. :)
YES Absolutely! Glad you had te same effect :D and thank you for dropping the name of the artist! (It's weakness of mine to remember names...) This exercise is simply amazing. I still do it and I do it a lot while watching Netflix ^^ so after 2-3 nights, I have a finished wobbly bobbly drawing.
@@Nonorama - the only reason i remember Tim's name so well is because i must have watched that video at least 20 times now. it became a jumping off point for my re-adventuring into drawing, something i have neglected for far too long. i really do believe that what he says about meditative drawing being as important as figure drawing (or whatever it is you prefer to draw), is true... you can access parts of your imagination that would otherwise be out of reach. there is so much to learn from this video (i see you struggling with that pencil technique - oddly enough, i took to it really easily because i didn't know i couldn't [another important lesson]... :) what about the idea of putting out a video of your doodles... they can show so much of your process without you having to talk and talk for hours - it's like a direct connection to another person's mind... anyway, it was great fun watching you doing that - have fun with the rest.
Thank you! Yeah, he's a great influence, with food for thought. Glad you like my channel too! Some new videos are already cooking.... lot's of weird abstract monster stuff....... fueled by this amazing exercise.
I found your pieces fascinating because I have just discovered neurographic art or neurographica - it is a form of art used to connect your conscious mind to your subconscious mind. And your end piece looks exactly like you’ve followed their algorithm. The practitioners claim this art can transform your daily life. I have been trying to learn more about it. It appears it would help if I spoke Russian. Lol. Thank you for sharing your work!
Ive been into Surrealism for some years now. But it doesnt matter what you call it. You should keep up with these kind of techniques. They are more interesting than most regular subject matter!
I bet there are a lot of things we do, but we don't have a definition for it. You can for example live a certain philosophy, without knowing that the same origins lie in Platos thoughts etc :D Happy to hear you've discovered this for yourself since 20 years!
Girl just go with the flow. I've been doing this all my life and it's amazing what the results. Just don't think about it just let yourself loose. I tend to put music on. In art class my difficulty was being to strict in my artwork. Like things such as anatomy. I eventually got it but it feels like I'm two different persons. Idk if this makes sense. In those moments you have a picture of it like you say it was a dragon...perhaps go deeper and draw the scales of the dragons and go into fluid movement.
Because I had vacation XD No, maybe because of the fact, that I ahve been drawing a little bit more for myself, these past few days? It can make a difference in your mindset.
I have something you might find interesting to share... I have watched people design in one of the most expensive places... they had in front of them, colors, textures, small peices of elements, rock, metal etc etc etc, smooth, rough... when they have this... something stands out... this can become the first layer... go back there may be a second thing that stands out, now see what your hand draws. Another way is to put these texures in a hat on a piece of paper, then pull it out of a selction in the hat. Once you have practiced this a bit, you may start to develop some sophistiocated ideas and become very artisenal - if you become very rich don't forget me lol /\ enjoy your week
i have been doing this since i was a child.. like ive been DRIVEN by some unknown and elusive "frequency" thats been gripping me all my life- to learn how to "let go" of all thought and receive what it is that comes through.. i still to this day dont know what it is, but i have drawn thousands of drawings and scribbles and i write these "equation like" drawings that i have NO IDEA what they mean.. but i DO KNOW that i can channel this "otherwordly" frequency and have been doing so for as long as i can remember as a child.. lately they i think i have been getting real good at "letting go" of all will and volition and these "stories" are manifesting words about beings from other worlds and i have no idea how im doing it but they ARE genuine automatic writings.. in time, you will see that i am for real.. i have thousands of drawings and writings and it seems that i have succeeded in "letting go" enough to receive this elusive "frequency" that it seems that i have learned to catch a ride with some "mechanism" of the universe and just go with IT.. hard to explain, but i feel i may of detoured off my planned destiny or something.. its just so hard to explain but i am reaching out for answers and that is how i found this video.. thanks.. if you want to contact me, my email is etseal@@t and my @t thanks and hope to hear from you.. when i do, ill send you some pics and i even have many videos of me actually doing the drawings and you can for yourself that i am for real... thanks and have a great day... :0)
It's like an exercise to overcome writer's block. You just put pen to paper and start writing. It doesn't matter what you write. It's just to get the creative juices flowing. Musicians do it too when they just start playing and come up with a unique melody with which to write a song.
Absolutely! I've done this a few times now and it does create a nice difference to my, usually very "controlled" style. I really reccomend it. Have you watched the Proko video about this technique?
I'm glad you shows three different drawing with different feelings.. I don't know what I try to say... But, well it is what I feel when look at your drawing... Love it...😊😊😊
Thank you! Sometimes I feel it is necessary, to also show stuff that didn't work out the way you planned to or hoped it would... I think I have a few videos showing such content (like my honest sketchbook tour) Because in the end, I am happy with the third drawing and the experience the others gave me, but I struggled at the beginning and still do when I try to do this. Which is completely normal and struggle should also be shared :)
I have done a couple of these drawings. I had never known about it, but I got some really great art out of it. Things I wouldnt even think about drawing. My drawings looked amazing and shocked that they came from me. I knew others maybe doing this and looked up what it be, that I was doing in my drawings. AHAH!!! I knew it was drawing meditation or some call it automatic drawing.
Whatever name we give it, in the end the important thing is, that you enjoy doing it and are happy with your drawing sessions, win new insights about yourself ^^ Giving the thing a name makes it just easier, so everybody can understand what is meant. Have fun continuing on your artistic journey!
I think if I add teeth, I get too far from trying to just.... draw loosely.. I would start adding more parts etc. But it is nice that you could see all that in there ^^
I tried this but I must have done it wrong because it turned representational fast. After I drew some lines I saw a girl in it and I just couldn't fight it or help myself. The next thing I knew I had drawn a twilight ballerina queen and there were roses everywhere WTF IS WRONG WITH MY HAND Anyways, she's really cute though and she would make a great painting so I'm painting her later. But I will keep trying with the just drawing and not thinking thing
Well, you can always try again and I think it's not a fail or "doing it wrong" when it leads to something representational. The initial intention is, drawing with an empty mind, but if it changes during the process...well then it simply did. You can retry later in a different way, there is no harm in using what your subconsciousness created :)
It is indeed very difficult not to....really think about what your doing and just do. I think real automatic drawing is very hard to achieve, but just trying to do it, or playing with the concept is very calming and helpful for the creativity as well.
This isn’t automatic drawing because u kept stopping and were well aware of what u were doing. Ure supposed to let the pen lead your drawing and not to think of where to make your next Mark. So u failed
automatic drawing is a form of meditation - it takes a long time to actually learn how to meditate and it works a bit different for every person - so how can you say she failed when she accomplished to draw beautiful pictures by just starting out to try using this method? Don't be an Eeyore.
I dont think anyone can fail at a learning exercise. she never said "and now folks i'm going to accomplish the world's most automatic automatic drawing!" it was an experiment and a practice at automatic drawing
this could be a very interesting video if you cut the first 4 minutes out... why to long for no real information
Thank you very much for the honest critique! It is something that I notice in many of my older videos, that I bable a lot or repeat myself often, just to say the same thing or something unimportant. Nowadays I try to at least be aware of that flaw and maybe avoid it more.
I came here from the Proko's video. I'm definitely going to try today. LOVE it.
Cool, so you've seen the interview :D You'll love it! I currently arrived at a whole bunch of weird landscapes. Well, if they are landscapes..... who can tell?

what about the idea of putting out a video of your doodles... they can show so much of your process without you having to talk and talk for hours - it's like a direct connection to another person's mind... anyway, it was great fun watching you doing that - have fun with the rest.
Pro trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
i love peter draws! i'm excited to see more of your chanel :)
Thank you! Yeah, he's a great influence, with food for thought.

Thank you! What you're telling is quite interesting and yes.... I think it has positive effects.
Ive been into Surrealism for some years now. But it doesnt matter what you call it. You should keep up with these kind of techniques. They are more interesting than most regular subject matter!
I like to diversify, because both world of realistic and abstract stuff... they kind of feed each other
@@Nonorama Sure, its all just expression and imagination.
Unlocked your subcontious mind with this technique. :-)
My sketching definitely is different since I do this!
@@Nonorama agree !
I have been doing this for about 20 years, but I just now learned that there is a name for it "automatic drawing". so fascinating :)
I bet there are a lot of things we do, but we don't have a definition for it. You can for example live a certain philosophy, without knowing that the same origins lie in Platos thoughts etc :D Happy to hear you've discovered this for yourself since 20 years!
I have been doing the same I call it to doodle never knew that there was a name for it very interesting

I don‘t know what it is exactly, but there is a very positive vibe to this video. I liked that very much:-)
Because I had vacation XD
No, maybe because of the fact, that I ahve been drawing a little bit more for myself, these past few days? It can make a difference in your mindset.
Love the last one
Thank you! I had a lot of fun, once I found some drawing "Feeling" I liked

Thanks for this. I'll add it to the blind contour and drawing my hands as part of my daily ambidextrous drawing practice
great stuff!!!

Came across your video after watching the Proko video. Really enjoy your videos and I’m a new subscriber.
Thank you very much! I hope some of my old and future videos will be enjoyable for you ^^
damn when you said peter draws i instantly hit the subscribe button
He has some good philosophies ^^ watch him regularly since years now
Very cool. I may have to give this a try. Seems to be getting back to a childhood like “beginners mind”.
Absolutely! I've done this a few times now and it does create a nice difference to my, usually very "controlled" style. I really reccomend it. Have you watched the Proko video about this technique?
@@Nonorama not yet. But I will
I do this all my live ! I love draw but now i discovery that i need too,! Safe my mind!
I'm glad you shows three different drawing with different feelings.. I don't know what I try to say... But, well it is what I feel when look at your drawing... Love it...😊😊😊

good job
I could see so many faces in that excellent very last sketch you showed, where you could have improvised by adding teeth etc
I think if I add teeth, I get too far from trying to just.... draw loosely.. I would start adding more parts etc.
But it is nice that you could see all that in there ^^
@@Nonorama ...also automatic drawing with pencil then erasing "unwanted bits" then inking
You can go over your pencil lines later with ink an then add paint or pastel, to develop it into a painting.
One could do that :)
Awesome video!
What app is being used for the digital mirror effect? I'd love to try that!!
what digital mirror effect? If you want to do mirrored drawings, that are symmertical, you can always use the simmetry tool in Photoshop?
Don, THINK , JUST do it !
I tried this but I must have done it wrong because it turned representational fast. After I drew some lines I saw a girl in it and I just couldn't fight it or help myself. The next thing I knew I had drawn a twilight ballerina queen and there were roses everywhere WTF IS WRONG WITH MY HAND
Anyways, she's really cute though and she would make a great painting so I'm painting her later. But I will keep trying with the just drawing and not thinking thing

This is a bit like mindfulness therapy , basically don't think about what you're drawing just let it flow ..... l think l need to try this myself
It is indeed very difficult not to....really think about what your doing and just do. I think real automatic drawing is very hard to achieve, but just trying to do it, or playing with the concept is very calming and helpful for the creativity as well.
looks like psychedelic... I think you should paint. :)
I sometimes do, but often fail XD
But evrey once in a while I try again.
100th like feelsgoodman
Wait, what? I have a video with 100 likes? What happened XD
Thank you and I hope you enjoyed hitting that button :D Always nice to be a milestone!
u didnt finish it. there's more to the drawing u did
U don’t have to be an artist to do automatic drawings because it’s naturally what people do anyway
Never said you have to be
I dont agree, i think most people do very tight and fully conscious intentional drawings not automatic ones
This isn’t automatic drawing because u kept stopping and were well aware of what u were doing. Ure supposed to let the pen lead your drawing and not to think of where to make your next Mark. So u failed
automatic drawing is a form of meditation - it takes a long time to actually learn how to meditate and it works a bit different for every person - so how can you say she failed when she accomplished to draw beautiful pictures by just starting out to try using this method? Don't be an Eeyore.
Thanks for your support :)
