Have you ever thought of drawing "nothing"? It is about drawing in an abstract way, with artistic inspiration but without a precise project, guided only by one's own creative spirit. It is difficult to define the nothing with precision, since the task is up to the artist, but it is possible to give indications for living this artistic experience.
Steps
Step 1. Start with a blank canvas
In this case we used a simple sheet of paper (see the "Things You Will Need" section for the measurement).
Step 2. Draw random lines on the canvas that divide the workspace into several sections
Run these lines all over the page. Don't interrupt them in the middle, make them go without interruption from one side to the other.
Step 3. Fill in some of the shapes created by the intersections of the lines
Keep using the pencil. There is no pattern to follow; fill them as you like.
Step 4. Fill in almost all of the remaining shapes
Use patterned motifs and the like. It is better to use large shapes, but if you prefer you can also make them small. The important essence of nothing is to follow random motifs all the time, letting chance decide for you.
Step 5. Fill in the remaining spaces with crosses
Trust me - it might not sound like a good idea, but the result will be fantastic.
Advice
- You can repeat the same pattern over and over, but in this case space them out to maintain a sense of randomness.
- Smaller spaces are ideal for step 2; try to expand them !!
- The best part about drawing the nothing is that no one can tell you that your work is horrible, since it doesn't have to look like anything: the viewer doesn't know how it should be and can't criticize.
- For best results, use the pencil and Not color it!
- If you decide to color your nothing, you can use a marker or fine-tipped pen to go over the patterns and get a cleaner effect.
- The effect is best not coloring it, but you are actually free to do whatever your inspiration dictates - which is the thing that matters most to an artist.
Warnings
- Never give up because you think you are wrong, because you can't go wrong with "nothing" or abstract art! If you don't like something, try tweaking it, the worst that can happen is that you still don't like it!
- In step 3, don't go crazy and don't fill all the smaller spaces. It will never be repeated enough, as it affects the overall look of your work.
- Never use the pen! Mainly because it looks like the scribble of someone getting bored during a long phone call. What you want to create is art, not trivial scribbles.
