Exploring Neurographic Art to process Anxiety and Overthinking (Artist Story 6) Tutorial

- Hi, I'm Lauren, an Artist and Photographer living in the Czech Republic. This video is the sixth in a series on finding courage to live your best life and do the things that make you happy. I hope all my videos to come will help inspire you to follow your dreams too.
The Backstory to this video (story 6) : Back in the summer of 2021, I decided to leave my job of 10 years in Prague, Czech Republic, pack up my life and move to the countryside to pursue being a full time creative. It's now been a few months and I am currently really inspired to explore creating art in different ways about my experiences in life and the continuous journey of healing. Overthinking and anxiety have been a constant part of my art journey, especially in the time of making big life changes. Art has always been a way for me to process feelings, anxiety and thoughts in creative ways. Neurographic Art is an art technique that I am currently exploring and I have found that it is a really helpful way to slow down the mind and in a sense, meditate through the process of creating a beautiful piece of art. There are a number of different ways to approach this art technique, and what I am showing in this video is the way I enjoy creating it. There are plenty of videos that show other methods. I hope you will find this tutorial helpful as one way to explore creating Neurographic Art.
Looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

This was beautiful, thank you for sharing your prosses and your art😊
This opened my brain to other ways of adding color to my very basic neurographical lines. Thank you.
❤
Thank you 🙌 for the heart
This is stunning, I love it!
Lovely words, thank you for the lovely arr
What a brilliant idea! I've never heard of it before. I've had depression in the past and I still suffer from anxiety and over-thinking, and feeling angry. Luckily, I've just bought some black fine-liners and colouring pens so I can have a go. I'll have to use my photocopy paper though, for now. I'll have to make some quilled pictures out of any art I might do; I'm just getting into that. xx
Very nice Lauren! I am happy to have found you. You have a beautiful sense for art. 🌈
That's so sweet of you to say, thanks for checking out my channel and for this inspiring comment :)
Looks Retro. I Love it.
Your explanation of what neurographic art is and how to do it is the best I have found. Something I want to try is to have a notebook handy to jot down a very short note of what pops into my thoughts while creating the art, and then quickly go back to,the art.
That's a great idea :) Thank you for these lovely words
Hi Lauren, Your art is lovely and the way you're able to explain your process is very clear! I'm new to this, but it didn't take me long to see that there are many different ways of going about this. So, I'm curious because your technique seems very free. The way the people from the official school teach this includes more rules about how to color, create the lines etc. Do you know if there's any evidence that one style creates better results? I have chronic pain, chronic fatigue, PTSD, & other health challenges like many people. I'm always happy to find something that could make life better. Thank you for sharing your neurographic art!
Your work is beautiful Lauren. I love your colour palettes! I've been experimenting with Neurographic art as well, after coming across it a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Neurographic art is a really interesting and calming art technique, I'm so glad to hear you are experimenting with it too :)
Love your approach and the additional of the marking at the end. Can't wait to try it!
Thank you for your lovely comment
I won't lie. At first I got super anxious drawing the lines. It was GIVING ME anxiety with he chaos I was creating lol. Then again trying to round everything UNTIL it finally clicked there's no right or wrong way and then my head just kept getting more and more excited repeating HOWEVER I WANT! 😂😂 GREAT EXERCISE! THANK YOU ❤❤❤
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your process! Please stay safe!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your lovely comment :)
That is so beautiful! I love this style of art.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it :)
Wonderful, wonderful thank you for sharing so warmly. Best wishes coming to you from U.K.
Thank you :) and to you
Hi Lauren, I stumbled across Neurographic Art a couple weeks ago and gave it a shot. It is really relaxing and totally captivated me. A great way to relax and let the thoughts and feelings flow. Thanks for your explanations, and your pieces are really beautiful.
Thank you for your sweet comment Anke and sharing your experience. It definitely is a great way of processing
Amazing what one can do with lines and colours. This is beautiful
Thank you so much 😀 It really is a fun way to create art and amazing how different it looks everytime
Wow, looks amazing. I suffer with depression as well as health issues. I love lots of types of art as well as crafting but feel sometimes my pieces aren’t perfect as in portrait not spot on or something not in proportion. Been trying Zentangles which I love. This looks amazing, looking forward to trying it 💕
Art is a wonderful healing tool, and very calming to create. Keep creating and don't worry about perfection, all art and creativity is worth celebrating :)
I practice the Zentangle Method for my chronic pain and it cut the pain in half. I became a CZT a year ago because my partner thought it was a good investment in my overall health and I love to teach. Neurographic Art would definitely be a nice addition to your tangling explorations. Good luck!
This is just gorgeous!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you checking out my video and leaving such a nice comment :)

I have added patterns to my neuro art. I used tangles.
That's great, patterns and zentangles are a really interesting addition :) Thanks for checking this video out
I have just started Neurographic Art a little month ago and I am looking for new ideas to make them - thank you so much for this - I love the coloring idea
Thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring comment :) I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying exploring Neurographic art as well and it's lovely to hear my video is inspiring you in some way :)
I am a ruptured brain aneurysm survivor. Neurological challenges are a daily challenge for me. I just learned about neurographic art. It is very interesting. I am beginning artist. Frustrated right now with my work. Abstract art is what I admire. Your works are absolutely amazing. You're video's have inspired me to try this form of artwork.
What brand markers are you using in each piece?
Thank you for your comment and thanks for sharing your story. I wish you well 🙌 I am glad you have started exploring Art and abstract art, Art can be very calming and healing in my opinion. I am using in the first drawing markers called Artist Sketch Marker Coloring (they are a smaller brand) and then in the second drawing I am using Sharpies (they are a bigger more well known brand). Any kind of markers will work though. Good luck on your Art journey 🌿🎨
Thank you so much!!🍃💜🍃
Lauren, I love all your creations, do you use regular sketch book paper or is it heavier?
Thank you 😊 the sketch book paper I’m using here is heavier then regular printer paper, more like a card stock. The colors of the markers generally don’t go through the paper 📝
I recommend looking at the Zentangle channel here on YT to enhance your Neurographic Art exploration. 🥰
thanks for the recommendation :)
Please, what kind of markers r u using? They look like so smooth they glide
In the first part of the video I use a brand of markers called ‘Artist sketch marker coloring’ and in the second part of the video I use Sharpie markers. Hope that helps :)
Thank you. Please can you tell me what kind of markers and paper you are using?
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊🙌 the paper is sketchbook paper of 190gsm and the markers in the first part of the video are Artist Sketch Marker Coloring and then in the second part of the video I use Sharpie markers. Hope that helps ✍🏻
@@laurenbarta Very helpful. Keep creating🌈
Lauren what pens do you use and paper please
In this video I use Sharpie markers, a black permanent marker, a black ink pen, Posca markers and the paper type is a card stock type paper in a sketchbook - unfortunately the exact type is not specified on the sketchbook. The sketchbook is called Skicák (czech name), there might be some more information about it online. Thanks for your comment :)
I am still trying to pin down what it is that makes this art "neurographic" and a "new way of doing art"...I discovered this type of art through perusing You Tube, but I've run into so many so-called definitions of it that now I'm totally confused. Nothing but contradictions and exceptions, varying definitions and claims of expertise, all saying something different. So frustrating! Anyway, after watching your video, I see you are definitely drawing what I thought I understood to be proper neurographic lines with zero loop de loops, and rounding corners in what I thought is the proper way to do that, but I'm wondering about the other figures and designs you are coloring into the lines and shapes after the initial drawing is completed. Are you converting your neurographic art into mosaics? Or, into your own personal interpretation of actual Neurographic art? Have you discovered any hard and fast rules for what defines neurographic art as opposed to simply abstract art? I am really interested in your opinion. Thank you!
Hi Vicki, thanks for your comment. From my understanding, the difference between Neurographic art and Abstract art is mostly down to the way Neurographic Art helps one process emotions, feelings and thoughts through drawing the lines and rounded edges in a slow and meaningful manner. When it comes to adding color to Neurographic Art, I think that it comes down to what supplies people have available to use. Different supplies will create a different appearance to the Neurographic Art and maybe that is why there are so many varieties out there. The way I added my color and also the patterns in this video, is how I naturally felt like doing it at the time. More of an intuitive process and experimentation. I am very interested in all art techniques and styles, and sometimes enjoy blending them together. I hope that answers your question :)
Wow, it’s art. There is no right or wrong. Just do it. The purpose is to stop all that over analyzing that you’re doing. Enjoy!
It's called doodling
good observation :) for me, most art techniques all tend to blend together at some point, so I experiment with all of them freely
I just watched the science behind it and you all should too. It's very important for he lines to go where they're not expected and be organic. They can't be where your hand naturally wants to go. You have to draw with intention, but not normal shapes and squiggles. This can actually be used to physical pain also. Google the correct way to get the most benefits. It'll relax you either way, but this isn't neurographic art.
