Zen drawing is one of the easiest ways to learn how to draw -instantly- in a relaxt and focust way. By making your hands move simultaneous with your eyes, drawings -as by magic- appear on your paper. All you have to do is enjoy the moment!
We all have a drawing reflex; an automatism that makes the hand follow the movement of the eyes. A wonderful 'tric' that helps so much to draw what you see and even without looking at the paper!
Visual awareness
A wonderful benefit of Zen drawing is that it makes you so much more aware of what things look like. You see more, you learn more and you feel more connected with everything around you!
Zen drawing is a powerful method to quiet your mind and open your heart. It can be used as a powerful meditation technique that enabless you to connect in the 'here and now' and raises your focus and awareness.
Many people benefit by the positive effects of Zen drawing. You can feel more relaxed and centered after drawing. Besides that in can increase your concentration span and improve fine motorskills. Zen drawing can be used in a wide variety of health care areas.
I have seen how children from a young age created more realistic drawings when using the 'tric' of the drawing reflex. Their drawings turned from memory based symbolic drawings into drawings based on reality.
