It's strange, I go into this sort of trance when I draw. I feel like my drawings are plants, from beginning to end it starts with one line and they literally just begin to grow, and the draw progresses in a plant growth sort of fashion. That continues until I have an "ecosystem" of shapes and figures, and I'll know when a drawing is finished when it feels like it's done. I find patterns and meanings to my drawings afterwards, generally I fall into a semi-dissociative state when I start a drawing, and I just think on a completely different level. Lines are no longer just lines, they feel like wires I'm connecting to the next line, and I need to connect the right wires together to make it work.
I dunno, drawing for me is a strange, enlightening, and interesting process. I can elaborate for paragraphs on any drawing you point out of mine, they all have very personal meanings and are abstractions of concepts much deeper than they might appear.
