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.
