Could you draw a couple of things like that and post them somewhere?
Or at least provide references for known artistic drawings which would
be good examples. For people who are far from arts like myself it is
pretty difficult to understand what you're refering to because there is
no prior experience with these sort of things.
Recently I've been trying to get in touch with my artistic half of the
brain and I think your exercise might be useful. I would say that my
logical half is pretty well developed, but it was not meant to do some
things which are more natural for the artistic half. So trying to use
the former instead of the latter feels like a lot of work (and it is!)
and finding ways to balance the load is paramount to me.
