The 4 Stages of the Automatic Drawings Process - Ideas
What is the way that great automated drawing artists come up with thoughts while drawing? What are the key steps in their creative process that allow the ideas to come to life? Disconnecting from the constant flow of distractions and thoughts is a crucial aspect of the technique for automatic drawing:
Put yourself in a receptive frame of mind, draw without thinking, and avoid conscious control over the image. The pencil should be in the same place on paper will help your flow. Automated drawing is an art form of enhanced or accelerated doodling which a variety of unexpected and improbable pictures can be visible and then used to create the foundation for more elaborate visual games.
Araki Koman is a freelance illustrator living within the UK. When she was a young child drawing, she did it in a computerized fashion until she reached the age of 16, and eventually stopped for about a decade. She took graphic design classes following her departure from her position as a digital marketer. Since then, Araki has allowed intuition to lead her career and creative thinking process.

Araki on her automated drawing process:
In truth, everything I do is automated. If I'm given a task and a request, I know where it is supposed to be. I understand what the customer wants. I always trust the process and that it will eventually produce the end result we all like. There are times when I do am able to reference something, but then I give that reference away and let the process take me to the outcome. (...) When I see my previous drawings I don't know how to do them again but I don't feel like I'm actually drawing these drawings. Yes, it's my hands drawing, but I'm drawing it but I am very spiritual and believe that there is a higher power working through me.
The four phases of drawing automatically by Araki Koman.
First Stage: Preparedness
"Usually I begin with an image of a reference that I enjoy. I draw an element and in the end, it is not me who is doing the drawing anymore, it is literally my hands creating the designs. It's like a puzzle, it's happening all on its own, and I am just witnessing it."
Stage 2 Stage 2: Creation
"I enjoy listening to a podcast or to music while drawing to focus my attention on something else. It is necessary to remove myself from the process and concentrate on something else such as the music I'm listening to, or the conversation in the audio podcast. It's just me allowing my hands to handle everything by themselves."
Stage 3. Editing
"All editing happens by itself. While I edit I'm continuing to work on the process also without being fully present. Sometimes, I must stop what I'm doing and then take a break from the task, to another place, and revisit the result. What is the end product? Am I happy with it Or should I consider adding another thing that didn't happen in the first place? Most of the time, it is quite effortless as I'm totally disconnected from everything that is happening around me. It's 80% of letting go and 10% of doing researching, and 10% of editing at the end."
Stage 4: Verification
"When I see my automated drawings of the past, I'm not sure what I can do to recreate them And I'm not feeling that I am actually doing them. It's not my hands making drawings, but I'm drawing, however I'm extremely spiritual and feel like it's higher consciousness doing it through me. Perhaps I was born with an initial talent that led me to draw often when I was a kid. I was very drawn to drawing, so I know this is my goal to be able to do it at this specific time, in this specific realm, and accept it as my job now."

Do you consider yourself an artist? Create a short video about the creation process
One of the best ways to earn some additional money from your art is to show people the process of the art you create. Simply turn on your camera and capture the process of creating your artwork. It is possible to create a brief video while making your artwork and offer it as an online course through a platform for video to provide your viewers with unique BTS information.
A video-based short course is the perfect way to get your viewers while creating your work and earning money to do it. Creators usually set the price of short video courses that range from $10-$50. But, the amount you make depends on the way you market your online course as well as its importance to the audience. If you've put all your effort to creating the video and promoting it on social networks, you'll be able to make an additional revenue stream on every one of your art pieces through showing the process you used to create the video.
