My Flickr friend Eric Thomas set me a drawing challenge (a few, actually!) so I hope he approves of this copy of one of his photos!

Transfiguration...
Automatic drawing
This is a kind of new road i'm traveling with my art.
Drawing from the subconscious without thought or reference (as far as possible).
I usualy get myself in some sort of meditive /trancelike state with the use of music (my choice: Byron Metcalf). Before this stage i just draw these blob-like little shapes and when i do reach that trancelike state i start to see all these faces within the drawing that i accentuate. It has been said that within this state spirits show them self or even take over the drawing process.
True or not true the process is really fun and interesting at the same time.
If you have any thoughts or experiences on automatic drawing, let me know. I'm curious what you think about it.
Thank you for your interest!

Owls are one of my favorite animals. The assignment this started out as was just to doodle, and turn those doodles into something. I was just doodling the eyes and beak and it reminded me of an owl. I'm a very detailed artist when I draw so i payed attention to little lines to make it more realistic. I really like the whimsical factor of this.
