Hi Samuel Thomas, Once I thought this kind of art didn't exist publicly on CZcams, until I searched for Subconscious drawing and then I found out about your works. It just encouraged me so much. Thank you for your sharing. Would love to share with your some drawings that I've done too.
Art is tantalizing in the way it can make you relax, release anxiety and stress. Most important it makes me happy. I’m going to try this right now!!!! Thanks.
This one is amazing!' besides relaxing, this can also enhance your creativity. By shutting off the part of your brain that tries to reproduce something you know, you will draw purely from your own creativity. The better you get at this, the more creative your other art will be. It's great!!
I completely agree. I think it's good to do all kinds of drawing. Representational work can help improve technique, but commonly results in feelings of failure when the work doesn't look a certain way. Automatic drawing can be much less frustrating and open you up to new discoveries about your own approach to drawing. These discoveries (and the open-minded approach in general) then find ways to manifest in your attempts at representational drawing.
Hey Sam, great video love how you draw so freely and create shades lines and tone. Great name too, SamThomas was my dear grandad, a miner and union man in South Wales
Same with me.. i used to draw within margin left on a lined paper it was just random things nothing just curved straight lines i didn't know what i was drawing nor expecting anything just doing things
As an artist, tell me why I found this the most difficult to do? I watched this and thought "omg, that seems like so much fun!" But then when I think about actually doing it, my mind went " no... no you can't do that" wtf
i am watching Ex Machina for the 100th time and it is the automatic art discussion so i looked up that subject on youtube and found this. are you a teacher? i am a high school art teacher and find there are lots of great online stuff for kids to do and use to learn and develop there style...regardless of what we hear.
I love Ex Machina! Yeah, I'm a high school art teacher as well. I've been attending CZcams University for years and just recently started to contribute my own content (out of necessity). I hope you have a great school year with your students!
I'm using your video w/ my online (Covid) Zoom classes (High School) - It's a great, concise, introduction to the process - Thank you! Also, who is the musical soundtrack - I like it, and it sounds familiar?
I awalys asummed it was doodling while my mind is a blank. I do this a lot and although I like the idea I find myself lazily drawing the same crap over and over. Maybe I'm approaching it wrong.
Are you still drawing? I took some magic mushrooms and now I'm automatically drawing birds. I keep thinking something different will appear but it always ends up a bird. I don't know much about birds so I'm not sure if they are even real species. Have you heard of this before?
Sounds like what many creatives refer to as an artistic “muse” - something that captivates your artistic focus for a prolonged time. The advice I’ve always heard about this is to continue exploring that muse until you run out of ideas or inspiration. Keep on drawing those birds friend!
Huh. Been drawing that way my entire life and never knew what it was up until now
i used to do this on school and stopped because i thought it was ugly, i now gave it a chance and it's really good for relaxing.

Shut up Sammy
My favourite style. Saves my creativity in the studio everytime. It's a good exercise to start the creative process. 😄
This is super cool definitely gonna try this
Enjoyed this video very much. Thank you.
Love this technique. Good high quality video as well. Thanks a lot!
Hey Sam, great video love how you draw so freely and create shades lines and tone.

Your channel is underrated 😢
The best explanation I've seen of this. And I like the sketches in this video, a great example. Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it!
I used to do this on the back of my notebooks, i didn't have a name for it. Most of them looked very ugly but it was still relaxing.
Thank you to have shared with us something so private, personal and intimate.
Great stuff Sammy, keep up the top work 🙌
cute sketcbook
Great Video mate!
I used to do this this of drawing in the 4th grade but everyone thought I was on drugs
Salvador Dali famously said "I don't do drugs - I am drugs."
Same with me.. i used to draw within margin left on a lined paper it was just random things nothing just curved straight lines i didn't know what i was drawing nor expecting anything just doing things

I can only paint like this
Thank you for making this video. Can I ask what pen you are using? It seems it has lots of possibilities
🔥
漂亮！
Amazeing
Perfect music. Who’s the band? Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks! Cape Francis is the musician - the song is called Olly :)
i do that always
Great video, which sketchbook do you use @0:53? Thank you!
I bought that sketchbook at Hobby Lobby several years ago. I'm not sure if they still sell that one :|
@@samuelthomas792 okay thanks
