Intuitive Line Drawing: Invite Creative Flow with the Doodle Mindset

In this class, with Skillshare teacher Joe Smigielski, we’ll explore line drawing and intuitive doodling techniques that invite creative flow.

In over twenty five years as an artist, I have found that creativity flows best when overthinking is minimized.  Together we’ll explore a doodling technique that helps quiet the mind, one that’s helped me continuously evolve as an intuitive artist.

• How drawing speed, or line velocity, impacts line quality;
• How adjusting line velocity helps synchronize the hand and brain;
• How this synchronicity can quiet overthinking;
• How to discover the line velocity that fits your style and approach;
• How to maintain control over your drawing at optimal velocity, by breaking your drawing down in to it’s individual strokes;
• Exercises that use drawing speed to spark spontaneity, intuition and creative flow, and;
• The before and after impact this intuitive approach can have on your creative practice overall.
