The four Stages of the Automatic Drawings Process - Ideas
How do the best automatic drawing artists generate concepts while they're drawing? What are the key steps in their creative process that enables the ideas to come into existence? The ability to disconnect from the continuous flow of distractions and thoughts is an essential part of the technique for automatic drawing:
Make sure you are in a relaxed mindset, draw in a relaxed manner, without thought, and keep away from having control of the image. The pencil should be at the point of the paper may aid in the flow. Actually, automatic drawing is a sort of accelerated or intensified doodling in which a variety of unexpected and improbable pictures can be visible and then used to create the foundation for further visual play.
Araki Koman is an illustrator who freelances in the UK. When she was a young child, she used to draw in a computerized fashion until she reached the age of 16, and after that, she stopped drawing for around 10 years. Araki enrolled in graphic design classes following her departure from her job in digital marketing. Since then, Araki has allowed intuition to guide her work and the process of creative thinking.

Araki on her automated drawing method:
In truth the way I work is completely automatic. When I have a project or a task I am aware of exactly where it's supposed to be. I know what the client is looking for. I always trust the process, and I know it would eventually lead to the final result that we both are happy with. Sometimes , I'll find a reference, but I quickly give that reference to the process and let the process lead to the end outcome. (...) If I look at my drawings from the past I never know how to do them again and I am not feeling like I'm actually drawing them. Sure, my hands are drawing but it's my hand doing however I'm extremely spiritual, and feel that it's a higher consciousness that is doing the drawing through me.
Four stages of the automatic drawing process by Araki Koman:
First Stage: The preparation
"Usually, I start with an image of a reference that I love. I draw an element and in the end, it is not me doing the rest of the drawing any more, the hands are doing the shapes. It's like solving a puzzle. things are happening on their themselves, and I'm simply watching."
Stage 2: Creation
"I enjoy listening to a podcast or listening to music while drawing to keep my mind focused on other things. I must completely remove myself from my drawing and focus on something else like the music that I am listening to, or the conversation in the audio podcast. I'm letting my hands to do everything by themselves."
Stage 3. Editing
"All editing is done in a natural way. If I'm editing I'm continuing to work on the process also without being completely there. Sometimes, I have to close what I am doing and then take a break from the task, to another place, and return to review the result. Is it the final product? Are I satisfied with the result, or should I add another thing that didn't happen at first? The majority of the time the process is very easy, I am completely disconnected from everything that is happening in the world around me. It's about letting 80% go 10 percent of the research, and 10% of editing towards 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 but I'm not sure if I'm the one doing the drawings. Sure, my hands are drawing, it's me drawing, but I am very spiritual, and I think it's a higher-level consciousness acting through my mind. I guess I had an initial talent that led me to draw quite a bit in my early years. I was quite interested in drawing, and so I am aware that it's my goal to be able to do it for the moment specifically in this area, and embrace this as my current job."

Do you consider yourself an artist? Make a video of the process of creating
An excellent way to earn an extra income from your art is to show people the process of your artwork. Just turn your camera on and capture the process of creating your artwork. You could create a quick video while making your artwork and sell it as an online course through a platform for video to provide your viewers with unique BTS content.
A video-based short course is the perfect way to get your viewers in the process of creating your artwork and earn money to do it. The creators typically determine the cost of their short videos from $10 to $50. However, how much you'll make depends on the way you price your online course as well as its importance to the audience. If you invest your time in creating your video and promote it through social networks, you'll be able to make an additional earnings stream from each of your art pieces by showing people the process you used to create the video.
