The 4 Stages of the Automatic Drawings Process - Ideas
How do great automatic artist come up with thoughts while drawing? What steps do they take during their process of creativity that enables them to bring those ideas to life? Disconnecting from the constant flow of ideas and distractions is a crucial aspect of the technique for automatic drawing:
Try to be in a relaxed state of mind. Draw in a relaxed manner, without thought, and keep away from conscious control over the image. Keep your pen in the same place on paper will help the flow. Automated drawing can be described as speedy or intense 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 regarding her auto-drawing method:
To be honest, everything I do is automated. When I have a project and a request I am aware of where it is supposed to be. I understand what the client wants. I have faith in the process and know that it would eventually lead to the end result we both like. Sometimes , I'll have a reference however I then give the reference up and I just let the process lead to the final outcome. (...) If I look at my previous drawings I don't know how to recreate them and I'm not sure as though I'm the person drawing these drawings. Yes, it's my hands drawing, it's me drawing however I'm extremely spiritual, and feel that the higher self is doing it through me.
The four stages of the automated drawing process by Araki Koman:
1. Preparation
"Usually I begin by drawing an image of a reference that I enjoy. Then, I draw the element. in the end there is no longer me doing the rest of the drawing, but it is literally my hands doing the shapes. It's like working on a puzzle. the pieces are moving on their on their own and I'm watching it."
Stage 2 Stage 2: Creation
"I enjoy listening to a music or podcast when drawing. It helps concentrate my mind on another thing. I have to completely detach myself from the process to focus on something different such as the music I'm listening to or the dialogue on the podcasts. It's just me allowing my hands to take over everything on their own."
Stage 3: Editing
"All editing is done by itself. When I am editing it, I'm completing the editing process, but not fully present. At times, I need to stop what I'm doing by taking a break from my task, somewhere else, then revisit the outcome. What is the end outcome? Do I feel satisfied Do I need to add something else that did not happen at first? Most of the time it's quite easy, I am completely disconnected from the world in the world around me. It's 80% of letting go, 10% of research, and 10% editing in the final."
Stage 4: Verification
"When I see my automatic drawings of the past, I never know how to do them again, and I am in no way feeling like I'm the one doing these drawings. Sure, my hands are drawing, it's me drawing, but I am highly spiritual, and I think it's a higher-level consciousness doing it through me. I guess I had an initial talent that led me to draw a lot as a child. I was quite interested in drawing and I'm sure this is my duty to draw for the moment within this particular realm and embrace it as my job now."

If you are an artist, Create a short video about the process of creating
