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.
