In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper. In applying chance and accident to mark-making, drawing is to a large extent freed of rational control. Hence, the drawing produced may be attributed in part to the subconscious and may reveal something of the psyche, which would otherwise be repressed.
As alluded to above, surrealist artists often found that their use of 'automatic drawing' was not entirely automatic, rather it involved some form of conscious intervention to make the image or painting visually acceptable or comprehensible, "... Masson admitted that his 'automatic' imagery involved a two-fold process of unconscious and conscious activity"
Pure psychic automatism, the dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason and outside all moral or aesthetic concerns.
"The arising of novel and coherent structures, patterns and properties during the process of self-organization in complex systems".
