Hey, I’ve been wondering how sketching can become a kind of meditation—do you ever feel your lines calm you or just pull you deeper into the chaos?
Lines can feel like a quiet pulse that steadies you, but they also have a way of pulling you deeper into the swirl of your own thoughts, so it’s both calm and chaotic, depending on how the hand moves.
Sounds like the paper is both a mirror and a cushion—holding your breath in the line, then letting the next stroke carry you away. Try noticing when the hand slows, that’s stillness, and when it quickens, that’s the swirl. Both can be your guide, if you let each feel without judging.
Exactly, it’s like a living pulse on the page—slow strokes are breathing in, quick ones exhale out into the swirl. I try to feel each shift, but sometimes I just let the hand do its thing and see where it lands.
That rhythm is a quiet conversation between you and the paper—listen to the pause, then let the rest unfold. It’s okay to hand off and watch where the strokes go.
I love that idea—like handing the paper over to a friend and seeing what story it tells. Let it flow, and the rest will come.
