The 4 Stages of the Automatic Drawings Process - Ideas
What is the way that great automated drawing artists come up with thoughts while drawing? And what are the steps during their process of creativity which allow the ideas to come into existence? The ability to disconnect from the continuous flow of distractions and thoughts is a crucial aspect of drawing automatically:
Put yourself in a receptive mindset, draw with no thought, and stay clear of having control of the image. The pencil should be on the paper can assist in to flow. In fact, automatic drawing is a sort of accelerated or intensified doodling in which a variety of unexpected and improbable images can be made to emerge and serve as the basis for the additional visual game.
Araki Koman is a freelance illustrator living within the UK. When she was a young child, she used to draw automatic up until her teens, but eventually stopped for about 10 years. Araki enrolled in an art and design program following her departure from her position as a digital marketer. Then, Araki has allowed intuition to lead her career and the process of creative thinking.

Araki about her automatic drawing procedure:
For the record, everything I do is automated. If I'm working on a project, a commission I am aware of where it is supposed to go. I understand what the customer wants. I have faith in the process and that it will eventually produce the final result that each of us would enjoy. Sometimes , I'll am able to reference something, but then I give that reference away and let the process take me to the final result. (...) When I see my previous drawings I don't know how to do them again and I'm not sure like I'm actually making them. Sure, my hands are drawing but it's my hand doing it but I am very spiritual and I feel like the higher self is working through me.
The four stages of the automated drawing process by Araki Koman.
1. Preparation
"Usually I begin with the reference image I like. I sketch an element, and at some point, it is not me who is doing the drawing, but it's my hands drawing the forms. It's like solving a puzzle. it's happening all on its on their own and I'm simply watching."
Stage 2 Stage 2: Creation
"I love listening to podcast or to music while drawing to concentrate my mind on other things. I must completely remove myself from the process to focus on something different such as the music I'm listening to, or the conversation of the podcasts. I'm letting my hands to handle everything on their own."
Stage 3: Editing
"All editing also happens in a natural way. If I'm editing I'm continuing to work on this process without actually being fully present. Sometimes, I have to close what I am doing, step away from the task, to another place, and revisit the result. Is it the final product? Am I happy with it, or should I add something else that did not happen in the first place? Most of the time the process is very easy and I'm completely detached from the world within me. It's 80% of letting go, 10% of research, and 10% editing towards the end."
Stage 4: Verification
"When I see my automated drawings of the past, I never know what to do next, and I am in no way feeling like I'm the one doing the drawings. It's not my hands drawing, it's me drawing, but I'm very spiritual, and I feel like it's higher consciousness acting through me. It's possible that I have an initial talent that led me to draw quite a bit as a child. I was very drawn to drawing and I'm sure it's in a way my goal to be able to do it for the moment specifically in this area, and accept the task as my own."

Do you consider yourself an artist? Make a video of your creation process
One of the best ways to earn an extra income from your art is to show people the process of your artwork. Turn on the camera and capture the process of creating the artwork. You could create a quick video of your work and then sell the course online through a platform for video to feed your audience with some unique BTS material.
A video-based short course is a great way to engage your audience in the process of creating your artwork and earn money for that. The creators typically determine the cost of video short courses that range from $10-$50. The amount you earn depends on how you market your course online and the worth to others.
