Exercise 3.5 - Free Association

Exercise 3.5 - Free Association

This exercise was about doodling in a playful manner,  where the pieces could be decorative and include recognisable elements or be entirely made up of abstract patterns. My approach was about starting with a simple eye and from that shape expand upon it by in a sort of subconscious mark making. 

I also took the opportunity to explore different patterns and textures made with pen and ink.

I used a black pen and a blue one, whatever I had at hand at the time of doodling.

There was a video in YouTube from the Proko channel where he interviews Tim Gula about meditating while drawing, this video is about this topic so I thought it to be relevant to add a link.
