  • Question
    Will abstract methods help me have an idea of what to draw?
    Community Answer
    I personally find that I make abstract art when I have a creative block, then I lose the block and I feel inspired. Then I start to sketch and form an idea.
  • Question
    What does 'abstract' mean?
    Community Answer
    'Abstact' is an adjective meaning 'existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence, or dealing with ideas rather than events.'
  • Question
    How long will it take?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how much effort and time you dedicate to it for detail, outline and proportion. You could spend an hour on it without putting effort into it, or maybe half an hour for concentration. It varies for different individuals.

    Absolutely. Paper won't last as long as a canvas though, so maybe you could frame it.
  • Question
    Can I use different shapes while drawing?
    Community Answer
    Of course! This is abstract art, after all. Any shape should work such as diamonds, squares, squiggle shapes, and much more.
  • Question
    Can you recommend the size of paper to use?
    Community Answer
    Any size is acceptable. It depends on how big you want to make the drawing and how much effort you want to put into it.

    Why does it look so weird at the end?

    Community Answer
    Abstract art doesn't really have a form to it, so it will usually turn out sort of weird-looking. Abstract art isn't for everyone though!
  • Question
    While drawing, could I use a Sharpie to make it pop more?

    Community Answer
    Of course! You can add any sort of detail to it that you want. Art is meant to let people explore new styles, there's no specific way to do it.

    There are many ways to improvise, but you could always draw over it if you don't like part of it.
