The MISTAKE METHOD of drawing

 

I invented a new method of drawing. It’s called the mistake method. In an attempt to draw realistic and impressive drawings, the artist seeks to prevent mistakes, and the result is a slow, overthought, overworked drawing. The artist loses the thrill of drawing, seeking a perfect drawing, and as a result rarely draws or gives up art altogether. Their output drops and they no longer find art enjoyable. 

But what would happen if the artist uses mistakes as part of the drawing technique? In this new method, the artist draws freely, and quickly, if a line goes wrong, he uses another line, leaving the earlier line as it is. This earlier line adds a strange energy. Alternatively, they could draw over the earlier line without erasing it. The artist doesn’t seek perfection but only seeks energy. Even the paper doesn’t have to be perfect, it could have been drawn on earlier, any kind of paper would do. All this only helps to add a new dimension to the drawing. Let's Make Art Interesting Again. In the following two drawings I used this MISTAKE METHOD. Not sure whether they look good, but they were fun to draw.
