what's your favorite way to draw? I don't mean the technique, but the different headspaces you can be in when drawing. for example:

>looking at something and analytically trying to copy it as accurately as possible
>looking at something and trying to interpret it in a new way
>trying to draw something from imagination
>automatic drawing for meditation and clearing your head

my favorite is
>representational drawing where you take thoughts or feelings that you have throughout the day and then draw the associated mental images that come from those thoughts.

It's like a form of abstract journaling. It will look like random shit to someone else, but I can look back at these drawings weeks or months later and it takes you right back to whatever thought you were thinking at the time, like a time machine for thoughts.

Thank you friends.

He wasn't a sophisticated artist, he just wanted to show to the world the therapeutic side of painting to unsophisticated and unpretentious people like him.
His show was directed at teenagers, soccer moms, elderly bored people, wageslaves with no prospects. You could criticize him for dumbing down the art of painting, but you should also admit that he was never pompous about it: he was just trying to teach you a hobby which, given a basic level of proficiency, could mend and soothe your soul and make you a calmer, happier and more insightful person.
