Four 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 that enables their ideas to be brought to life? Disconnecting from the constant flow of distractions and thoughts is the most important aspect of the automatic drawing technique:
Try to be in a relaxed frame of mind, draw without thinking, and avoid controlling the drawing with your mind. Keeping your pencil on the paper can aid in to flow. Actually, automatic drawing is an art form of enhanced or accelerated doodling which a variety of unexpected and improbable pictures can emerge and serve to create the foundation for additional visual game.
Araki Koman is a professional illustrator living within the UK. When she was a young child drawing, she did it automatically until her teens, but eventually stopped for about 10 years. She took an art and design program after leaving her digital marketing job. Since then, Araki has allowed intuition to lead her career and the process of creative thinking.

Araki regarding her auto-drawing process:
In truth the way I work is automatic. When I have a project or a task I'm aware of exactly where it's supposed to go. I am aware of what my client is looking for. I have faith in the process and know that it would eventually lead to the final result that we all like. There are times when I do find a reference, but then I give that reference to the process and let the process lead to the end outcome. (...) When I see my drawings from the past I never know how to recreate them and I am not feeling that I am the one doing them. Yes, it's my hands drawing, but I'm drawing it , but I'm very spiritual and believe that there is a higher power doing it through me.
The four phases of the automated drawing process by Araki Koman:
1. Preparation
"Usually I begin with the reference image I love. Then, I draw the element. in the end, it is not me that is drawing the remainder of the drawing anymore, the hands are drawing the forms. It's like working on a puzzle. things are happening on their own, and I am just witnessing it."
Stage 2: Creation
"I love listening to podcast or listening to music while drawing to keep my mind focused on other things. I have to completely detach my attention from the drawing process and focus on something else like the music I am listening to, or the conversation on the podcasts. I am just allowing my hands to do everything on their own."
Stage 3: Editing
"All editing happens by itself. When I am editing it, I'm completing the editing process, but not fully present. At times, I need to end my work, step away from the project, and do something else and then come back to look at the final product. Is it the final result? Are I satisfied with the result, or should I add something else that did not come the first time? A lot of times the process is very easy and I'm completely detached from the world 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 never know what to do next And I'm not sure if I'm responsible for these drawings. Sure, my hands are drawing, but it's my drawing, but I am very spiritual, and I think it's a higher-level consciousness acting through me. I guess I had the ability to draw from an early age, which led me to draw often when I was a kid. I was very interested in drawing and I'm sure this is my duty to draw for the moment within this particular realm and embrace this as my current job."

Are you an artist? Make a video of the creation process
One of the best ways to earn some additional money from your art is to show viewers the process behind your artwork. Turn on the camera and take a video of how you create the artwork. It is possible to create a brief video while making your artwork and then sell the course online on a video platform to feed your audience with some exclusive BTS material.
A video-based short course is an excellent way to involve people while creating your artwork and earn money for it. Course creators generally decide the prices of short video courses that range from $10-$50. However, how much you'll make depends on the way you price your online course and its importance to the audience. If you invest your time into creating the video and promote it through social media, you can earn an extra revenue stream on every one of your creations, by sharing how you created it.
