The Four Stages of the Automatic Drawings Process - Ideas
How do great automatic drawing artists generate concepts while they're drawing? And what are the steps in their creative process that enables them to bring those ideas to life? Disconnecting from the constant flow of distractions and thoughts is an essential part of drawing automatically:
Make sure you are in a relaxed mindset, draw without thinking, and avoid controlling the drawing with your mind. Keep your pen in the same place on paper will assist in your flow. Automated drawing is a sort of speedy or intense doodling, in where unexpected and unpredictably shaped images can be made to appear and used as the basis for the further visual play.
Araki Koman is a freelance illustrator living within the UK. When she was a kid drawing, she did it automatic up until her teenage years, and eventually stopped for about an entire decade. Araki enrolled in an art and design program after leaving her job in digital marketing. From then on, Araki has allowed intuition to guide her work and creative thinking process.

Araki on her automated drawing procedure:
For the record, everything I do is automatic. If I'm working on a project and a request I am aware of the exact location it needs to go. I understand what the client is looking for. I always trust the process and that it will eventually produce the result each of us would are happy with. Sometimes I find a reference, however I then give the reference up and I just allow the process to lead to the result. (...) As I review my drawings from the past I don't know how to do them again but I don't feel like I'm actually drawing the drawings. Sure, my hands are drawing, but I'm drawing it , but I'm very spiritual, and feel that it's a higher consciousness doing it through me.
The four phases of drawing automatically by Araki Koman:
Stage 1: Preparation
"Usually, I start with an image of a reference that I enjoy. I sketch an element, and at some point there is no longer me doing the rest of the drawing any more, it's my hands creating the designs. It's like solving a puzzle. it's happening all on its themselves, and I'm watching it."
Stage 2 Stage 2: Creation
"I love listening to podcast or listening to music while drawing to keep my mind focused on other things. I must completely remove myself from my drawing to focus on something different such as the music I'm listening to, or the conversation on the podcasts. I'm letting my hands to take over everything by themselves."
Stage 3: Editing
"All editing is done by itself. While I edit, I am continuing this process without actually being entirely present. Sometimes, I must end my work and then take a break from the project, and to another place, and revisit the result. Do you think it's the best outcome? Am I happy with it, or should I add some other thing that hasn't happen the first time? Most of the time the process is very easy as I'm totally disconnected from the world in the world around me. It's 80% of letting go 10 percent of the research and 10% of editing at the end."
Stage 4: Verification
"When I look at my auto drawings of the past, I don't know what to do next And I'm in no way feeling like I'm responsible for these drawings. Yes, it's my hands making drawings, but I'm drawing, but I'm very spiritual, and I feel like it's higher consciousness acting through me. Perhaps I was born with the ability to draw from an early age, which led me to draw often in my early years. I was very interested in drawing, and so I am aware that it's in a way my goal to be able to do it for the moment within this particular realm and accept it as my job now."

Do you consider yourself an artist? Make a video of the creation process
An excellent way to earn some extra money on your work is to share with people the process of your artwork. Turn on the camera and take a video of how you create your artwork. It is possible to create a brief video of your work and sell the course online via a video platform. This will provide your viewers with exclusive BTS material.
A short video course is a great way to engage your viewers as you create your artwork and earn money for it. Creators usually set the price of their short videos that range from $10-$50. The amount you earn depends on how you price your online course and its importance to the audience. If you put your heart to creating the video and promote it through social networks, you'll be able to earn an extra earnings stream from each of your creations, through showing how you created it.
