Admin Post: Drawing Challenge #41 - Automatic Drawing

[goss]

Here's our first drawing challenge for the new year! Hope you all have fun with it. :) Many thanks to mekare for the prompt.

Challenge 41 - Automatic Drawing

Draw without intent.

The Automatic Drawing challenge involves creating a drawing without thinking. It is letting the mind rest while the hand moves. "It's starting with nothing, no source material, no message, no ideas--a blank mind--and then unleashing the hand, watching in surprise and amazement at what happens."

Here are some YouTube videos with artists discussing and demonstrating the Automatic Drawing technique:
(1) Camp PencilPoint: Automatic Drawing Technique
(2) Meditation for Artists - The Automatic Drawing Technique
(3) 5 min Therapeutic Arts -Episode 2-Automatic Drawing

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of the month on Monday 31st January, 2022.

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)
