Since it's a drawing I thought of this example;

This is an example of the frottage technique. Max Ernst did rubbings of different textures, and then made them into a drawing (I guess he saw... some.. weird.. eye.. thing).

But basically his creative process was driven by the texture - he didn't have any preconceived idea of what he was going to do.

You can do the same by drawing random dots on a page, then connecting them, then seeing if it resembles anything and adding detail.

That would partially use the technique called automatism - which is random painting / drawing without ANY planning or thought, basically trying to have pure subconscious on canvas.

[[can you tell I'm an artfag ;_;]]

You're a helpful artfag, though. I'll try automatism, since I don't have any textures I can use with frottage.

Draw a picture of an everyday object melting away.

Salvador Dali is an artist who liked to do melting clocks.

Draw a naked, full-grown, muscular man hatching from an egg in a field of molecules that form faces.

Try reading up on German Expressionism. That'll give you somethin' to work with.

Edvard Munch's "The Scream"? Amazing. Surrealist art is quite expressive at times :] I'd do it.
