automatic art (surrealism automatism)

this technique basically takes away the conscious self-censorship that comes through in other techniques (not a bad thing). which set the piece up to show emotions, thoughts etc. automatic drawing is the parallel to automatic writing which is also a good practise for an artist. allowing the subconscious to come out. 
at the start i was simply just pencil and paper drawing but its developed over time and now theres quite a few painting and even graphic drawings which were done through automatic drawing. 
to me this is a good exercise to draw out peoples raw emotions and show what they are truly feeling.
