Marco Rio - your so right !!!! It’s like doing a sport - first time you have 2 left feet both in buckets of concrete!! After 10-15 times your still awkward but not as much and the embarrassment of your efforts starts to lessen. Do something 100 times and you become skilled , do it 300 times and you become efficient, do it a 1,000 times and they call you Master

After learning stuff about art technically, especially in art school, you kind of become stiff, you stick to certain rules and principles... you always think about the subject, content and form but when you do this, you just let it flow. As a student artist, this is actually very healing.

This is how I started discovering the art in myself when I was a teenager, and I think it saved my life. I had studied and practiced drawing from an early age - I was a shy and withdrawn child. I never realized until now that this is a "thing" - so suddenly, after all these decades, I feel like I exist in something that's shared. I think this "automatic" drawing is an expression of one's true identity, when it comes after maybe learning at least some basic portrayal skills. That is, I think you can tell that when this gentleman does his automatic drawing, he's been practicing controlled methods as well, and for a long time. So - it's all good, for EVERYONE to do. But the more you do on BOTH sides of the coin (controlled, and automatic, both) the further you're going to go in turning your art into YOUR SELF expression.

I can also look at the drawing, and remember what I was hearing at the time; even years later. Very calming! I’ve always thought it’s my best work.

I am not an artist. I am just now almost at 30yo trying to fire up my interest in drawing/painting again and I loved this video because it reminded me of one of the things I had most fun doing more than 10 years ago. I would let my pencil touch the paper and then just let my hand flow making random lines, curves and shapes. Then I would lift the pencil up and I would try to find things from reality in the middle of the doodle and try to bring them to life. In the end you would get a bunch of random elements and characters in a weird but yet funny composition. That whole process of discovery was awesome and fun.

I like to draw trees and more trees with branches going every which way. The notches and grooves flowing endlessly, Sometimes birds fly in and land on the branches. I don't see them until someone points them out. Out of my subconscious wings and feathers appear in the drawing. It is magical.

Yes! I got to this level in my mid 20's and once it is learned you never forget. It just flows out of the mind. Mine was different and had full figures of gnomes, animlas, flowers along with shapes that were a creation of their own. I think everyone can do this exercise after drawing for awhile. I could see the drawings on the paper like a tracing and all I had to do was pencil it out since the lines were already there. I still have no idea how it happens...

This is quality content stan, quality , gold knowledge that every being needs to know, remember when we used to doodle at the back of the notebooks at a boring class? maybe our minds wanted to relax to at that state. just some curves and lines, weather be triangles or circles without focusing on the end result. keep up this content.

In a sense, doing is knowing. It's strokes soak into your muscles and you learn little things about different mediums. I loved drawing with pencils because the way it feels when you move it across a sheet of paper, how it glides- its a delightful textural feeling, quite soothing. It feels restorative on the mind. It's like a little escape. Pencils are lovely because of the little tricks you can use to make different textures. What's your favorite medium to make art?

I used to do a lot of these but after working at small studio I was all pressured to “once you grab a pen or pencil sort of tool. You have to done something recognizable to everybody,and it has to be good.” Kind of mental state. But actually I started draw much worse when I started to compare to others whose producing “useable and productive” paints. It has been a big period of my dark time that I was following somebody’s dogma. I’ll quit patient practice, instead of doing this, I’ll start “drawing” from now on. BIG THANK from Japan.

This video was so enlightening. When I was in college I was doing this all the time and never realized it was an actual technique. I just referred to it as "randomness" and even submitted my final project as such. It's really been the driving technique behind a lot of special pieces I've made over the last decade, as well as ones that I've left unfinished. Great to see this chap break it down in the most humble of ways, thanks for sharing this video! Good luck to all artists, and just try to relax ☺️

I’ve done this a few times without realizing what exactly I was doing lol. I can’t draw neatly for crap so when I feel like it I just start drawing geometric shapes and lines until something forms. After watching this I think I want to try doing this more often and get a little book to fill with random crap :)

I'm a realist oil painter, and just this year I decided to try abstract painting. Initially I stood in front of the blank canvas with a paralyzed feeling of "what do I do? Where do I start?" But finally I made a few broad lines, and then just kept going. And it was exactly as this artist describes - no mind - just intuition - gut. And now I am addicted to doing abstracts for the freedom and joy it gives!

This exercise is something I’ve always done, however I never thought of it as an exercise. Up until this point I thought drawing like this was meaningless. As if it was a manifestation of my “ boring” or “uninspired” mind. Or a waste of time... This video changed that view. I’m quite proud of my weird sketches now. I don’t know why I had to wait for an accomplished artist to validate this practice for me, but here I am. Rad video, Mr the Stan-dude-man-bro!! I’m gonna keep at it! High five ✋🏼

I didn't know other people did it.Come across a KZreadr 'Peter Draws' who does this type of doodling.

this is godsent. recently I got asked if I could do artworks of sci-fi scenario on some unknown planet. they asked me to draw something "you never saw anywhere before" and since now I had no idea how to approach this...but this "technique" could be the solution I was looking for. awesome :D

This my new favorite unintentional ASMR. You can hear how much it relaxes Tim by how his voice becomes so calm and soothing when he starts auto-drawing. I tried this for the first time and if felt wonderful!

Turned out there are "two ways" of drawing if you look from subconcious perspective. Before I saw this video, I thought this is how everyones do their drawing. Since I've been doing this since I was a kid, never into stickman and logical thinking too much. Its easier to let it flow. Believe that if we ever saw it, then our mind will help us. Tips to make this work : Make sure your hand dont stop, even if you dont know, believe, that movement will help everything goes forward and eventually shaped into something.

I'm sort of both? I gotta do a quick gesture to draw on top otherwise the pose feels off, but otherwise I draw mostly like this

I just realized that I do this too, but my shapes are usually more rigid and mechanical, like I'm drawing a giant abstract machine.

Perhaps your creative processes emerged from different backgrounds but are converging? Perhaps try and draw looser linework and see if it helps you think clearer, and if it doesn't, perhaps you seek more orderedness in your gesturing? Either way congrats on already having great creative technique!

It’s one of the hardest thing to let go. We‘re taught to always think and keep ourselves straight and collected. But it’s the most beautiful thing to just be „in the flow“, be free and let go.

Woah, I've been doing automatic drawing my whole life and had no idea it was an actual technique. I always just called it doodling. XD I never saw any of my art friends doing drawings like this, so I thought I was just weird, but I always found it so relaxing. I'd do them a lot before tests or during finals weeks.

This method feels like what we used to do when we were kids. Simply pick up a crayon and scribble nonsense lines and shapes on the paper (sometimes, walls). It really brings me back to my childhood!

I started doing this subconsciously when I was in college because I was overwhelmed with intense boredom and anxiety during lectures. They started as anxious scribbles and as time went on they transformed to interesting and sometimes scary creatures and now to people in abstract settings. Then I started learning more about art and as I practiced techniques, when I would get anxious and doodle again, the doodles looked more advanced. It was really fascinating to look at my journal full of "notes" from class :P This is how my interest in drawing began!

Organic shapes - harmony - just let it flow - how can God NOT be an artist. God is an artist. Look at the beauty of creation and creativity. Just saying. Beautiful vdeo !!! xx

I did this and wow it change my whole way of drawing and writing etc i do all while meditate and relax .

6:52 it looks like an alien overlord who's a sea creature insect draped in Greek robes stretching his hand out like he's holding something. I love it.

I was definitely getting depressed with my art and frustrated but I'm really glad I saw this, thank you so much for sharing. I'm excited to try.

Proko: "Give yourself a few minutes" Me: "Wow, let's try this!" - draws for an hour Oh boy, what an experience!

This is game changing for me. Always to stressed thinking if I am good or not enough, trying to do exercises and learn about anatomy and perspective... and this is just feeling good, as he says. Thanks for sharing!

You just made my day kind sir. I never knew this was considered a meditation... this is what i draw constantly. I thought it was jibberish (still frame all of it tho) but to hear its a way of meditation for the mind, almost takes some of the weight off this giant boulder on my shoulders

I’ve realised my style of drawing is similar to this and I’ve always hated it because it doesn’t come across as realistic, but seeing how people can refine and improve it, has given me a big boost to pick up the pen again

I did this the other day for the first time, and it is a very psychedelic experience. Everyone should try it - it helps you access the state of mind you have as a very young child, and vividly imagine in your minds eye whilst your hand is moving over the page. 💗

@@innusafar9438 do it some more and maybe it will help develop beyond your "limitations" ... i don't have aphantasia and struggled with this the first time. he even says you might struggle because it requires letting go. so let go! draw patters over and over then smoosh them together. draw through them. trace the spaces between them.

One thing I love doing is to do a drawing of whatever is in front of me - the scene. It could be a room or a cat or out and about. The aim is to just capture as much detail as you can without caring about perspective or the quality of the drawing. You just have to depict what you are seeing. I prefer ink, as it feels more permanent and you commit more. After half an hour you've got a snap shot of part of your life and you are relaxed. I started doing it around fifteen years ago and they are like finding photos! I definitely recommend doing it. I've never tried this automatic technique yet but once it's light I will give it a go. They reminded me of phone doodles, or the doodles I used to do when we only had a landline. You had to sit in the same place to talk and usually the phone book would be full of these nonsense scribbles. Awesome stuff.

I draw like this all the time, most of my idea's start like this. I usually find something in there that I can expand on. I love it, no pressure.

I feel like I could breathe in for the first time in a very long time, watching this. Thanks

Check out Peter Draws. It's a whole channel of this basically. I love it.

Incredible, I didn't know this was such a good exercise. I used to do it all the time as a child. I'm sure other types of meditation (based on focusing or visualizing) have benefits in art too

This is how I have always drawn and painted. It feels magnificent. So freeing. The ability to be disconnected from the end result is bliss.

I have been doing this for years.This is the first time I have ever found another artist talking about it. I consider it a form of meditation.

Not at all. Ultra instinct is literally instinct. Its your body's natural ability to survive and overcome. Automatic drawing is letting your unconscious guide your hand.

Our lack of pent up self expression manifests as COMPULSIVE OVEREATING so when you mention literally getting the WEIGHT off yr shoulders I had to reply cause we think if we do this drawing technique WE MIGHT LOOSE WEIGHT!! ??

Watching him draw and relax his mind through sketching was so intriguing and mesmerizing. The next time I draw, I'm going to try just letting my mind relax and draw what ever. That is something that all artists should try out at some point because a lot of the people I know wouldn't even think of just relaxing their mind while drawing. Very enlightening video, thank you.

Its as if you used one half of your brain to have a full on conversation / interview and at the same time used the other half of your brain to doodle awesome art.. Well done.

At some point, somehow, I felt very emotionally overwhelmed for whatever reason. Don't know what that was about.

When your mind relaxes some of the stuff you've been subconsciously suppressing is released. I've had similar experience with yoga. I would say you could benefit from doing more and see what comes up and allow yourself to process the suppressed emotion. When I am oversrtedded this is one of my go to activities.

I agree with Melissa. Some people cannot just relax the mind and sit still for any length of time, They end up wanting to scream or break something. Or maybe they just can't get to the calm inner self. I believe meditation is a good way to heal your past. Let's your mind grow into new thoughts rather than rehashing the past.

The same emotional response happens to ppl getting their first massage. They breakdown and often cry. Because the body has all that pent up pressure. When it gets relaxed the build up has to come out some way. The more you let THE FLOW STATE do it's thing, the less you will feel uneasy.

this was amazing to watch and i love his interaction “oh yea i just got out of the army and i came to be your student!” HIS LAUGH AND SMILE uh he’s so pure and it’s so cute like you can tell he’s recalling the fucking picture perfect image of that memory and it makes me laugh to like know he’s laughing at that specific memory lol like i’m sharing that goofy life changing moment WITH him. so surreal idk if others feel that too but like uh i’m so glad i clicked on this video, what and experience! i can’t wait to try this technique! i’m not your typical artist i really enjoy playing with makeup actually and i’m currently in school to become a professional MUA but i’m finding it hard to want to do even MY OWN makeup lately so i’m looking forward to seeing if this helps me 🥺💕 have a great day whoever reads this may your waking and resting hours be full of love and peace ✨

I feel like this could be brilliant therapy for artists and non-artists alike. I m gathering up ll my rt supplies and taking them into my 17 year old slaughters room. She has been sinking into depression and seems so lost. I am feeling positive energy about this possibility. Since she can not find the words to express herself perhaps shape, form, shadows and even color may help her to discover her voice ...I don't know, but this fills me with hope. I ask that we all send her our love and light to guide her out of this darkness. Thank you with all my heart.

wow i never thought of making art in a relaxing way before.

I was in a rut for a few weeks, couldn't really get myself to properly draw and learn. And this video really helps me a lot. I needed to let go and free some space inside my head. Thank you Mr Proko and Mr Tim Gula for this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I tried this exercise yesterday, putting on a psychedelic song to help build up the trance and, I must say, what I drew was an absolute mess, lol. But it was really fun. I feel like I can breath. Thank you.

I can't believe that I've been doing this subconsciously my whole life.

I did this once on a restaurant menu once before seeing this. Ballpoint pen. I thought it was one of the best things I’d ever drawn. I think I try it again with this in mind.
