Are You familiar with Automatic Drawing
During my college years i was very much a student of the Dadaists and Surrealists. One of the techniques i used a lot during my Studio Art and Design courses was that of the Exquisite Corpse and that of Automatic Drawing/Writing. The whole intent behind these two methods was to free you from the shackles of the literal and rational day to day brain. You know, the daily grind of the monkey brain controlling and dictating everything.
For those in the know, you may also know this as getting into the Flow state...or the Beginners Mind state of Zen philosophy.
Anyhoo, i recently stumbled on this great video which rekindled my joy of the technique:
And as luck would have it, after watching the video, i fired up Fresco and had a go at it. It felt good to know that i could get back in to this state...i figure that all this music making of late is just an extension of the whole Automatic Thinking muscle I’ve developed over the years.
Anyhoo, if you’re into this kind of stuff, please contribute to this thread. I know there are a few of us here who wield music notes and pen and ink quite readily, and i figured I’d provoke the group with some fun exercises to help us all be more creative with the art we create...regardless of medium.
Cheers.
Here are a couple images of my mind unshackled 🤔🤪👊🏼™️

Cool stuff, I especially like the second one.
nice! Keep em coming!
These are super fun to do in Procreate as timelapse videos. Spend a couple hours doodling, boom instant music video.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing the video and drawings. (Or as the English say “drawrings” 🙃)
My first reaction was that they might look even better in color. But... after gazing at them for a minute, the surreal nature of the drawings seemed to provoke my mind into “seeing” different colors despite the monochromatic style, or at least imagine so. Perhaps in a manner similar to how the brain can “fill in the gaps” of a sentence written without vowels. (I haven’t been smoking or drinking, I swear! 😄)
Anyway, good stuff. Keep it up. Cheers. 👍
Thanks everyone. I also posted the time lapse versions on my twitter feed:
It’s funny that you mention color...it was in there on the first illustration. Now that’s weird huh? 🤔👊🏼™️
Oh cool! yah would love to see some extended versions with your music.
Also, didn't know Fresco did the timelapse.
Used to do a lot of this pre digital age... must fire up fresco and give it a go...
Love your stuff too btw!
@id_23 very cool. Can’t wait to see the old master return 👊🏼
@echoopera Lol! Old is right! Master maybe not!!
Here is a couple of micro doodles ... found in an old pocket sketch book, crammed with madness!
