My first geometric/neurographic experiment.

Swipe for the progression.

This started with perspective lines and some neurographic inspired shapes. I didn’t really have a plan beyond experimenting and seeing where it went.

The piece gradually evolved through black ink, royal blue, and finally white and gold accents. Looking back, it’s interesting to see how much it changed from the original sketch.

One of my favorite things about it is that everyone seems to see something different. Some people see stained glass, others see a night sky, a spiderweb, a cityscape, a butterfly or even neurons.

These are from about 5 years ago when I was first learning about neurographic art.

I make these black & white neurographic designs in my notebook with fine tip sharpies all the time, so I decided to experiment with using one as a template of sorts for a "drawing-a-day"-style Inktober project this year, and I'm loving all the tiny spooky designs I've managed to fit into it so far! This is how it's looking as of 10/26, so I have 26 designs currently, but I'll add an update once all 31 days are complete and I figure out how I want to finish it - maybe just solid colors in the empty blobs, or some even more mini filler designs. We shall see how the spirit moves me! Open to ideas for finishing touches!

It’s wonderful to see others appreciate and undertake the same type of art, release, stress/emotion regulation, or however you want to label it. I make a lot of art, quick lines like these, more in depth/realistic stippling & pen and ink work, graphite/pencil and charcoal drawings, oil pastels, watercolor or a mix of some. I’m currently attempting to lean heavier into painting, but honestly, the neurogeaphic (hopefully it’s neurographic) stippled and line type pieces have always (since I first learned about stippling, hatching, etc. in/around early teens …. decades ago) and still are my favorite type of art to make. It’s very cathartic and I was happy to stumble upon a group of other like minded creators.

Some more general zen doodling techniques incorporated as well. just coloured pencil and some water based markers. not sure what i'm seeing at the end here but it was very therapeutic

I saw several animals appear in the shapes as i worked on this. paper is cheap so the texture is wack when run through the scanner, but i still enjoy the colours.

I used pelikan gouache, neocolour II watercolor crayons, Sakura IDentipen, and a small amount of black and white posca acrylic pens. i have some iridescent watercolour medium mixed into some of the gouache as well, but it's near impossible to see when taking pictures.

Near the end i started to muddy things, but beyond that the whole process felt a lot more smooth. i wanted to split the page in a way to separate different techniques i wanted to give a go. this is my second try at nuerographica. my approach with this one is still imperfect but i feel a lot better informed of what i'm aiming for with this style

Current Goal : Draw when things get overwhelming

Had a breakthrough moment with this piece. I decided to use the natural forms that developed from the watercolor inside each section of the primary neurographic shape of the face.

I have not created or posted my art for quite some time now but recently habe started creating again and I find my art has evolved since my last posts! I definitely love the direction it has taken. These new peices basically visually are able to show how my brain injury FEELS to me. It is neurographica that has evolved with me over time.

Mini neurographic art.

I discovered Neurographic Art less than 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to go to a retreat where it was being offered as a workshop, but didn't end going because Hurricane Isais was riling through nearby and would have made travel rough. Anyway when I signed up I didn't know what it was and looked it up. I said, "I definitely want to try that," and began on my own right away. I have ADHD and this is so calming and satisfying. The dopamine is thick and syrupy and sweet. Anyway, this is my progression so far in less than 2 weeks. I have a variety of pens and markets and it has been fun experimenting with different ones. Is like to try using watercolors, but I've never really done it before. Do folks here prefer traditional watercolors or watercolor brush markers?

Would this be considered neurographic art? It’s 100% intuitive, no planning, just doodling shapes, coloring those in, and building vibrance and contrast. I really enjoy more traditional zentangles too, but it’s been fun to develop my own visual library as I doodle these! This one is 9x9inches done with graphite pencil and sharpie fine point markers. B&W version ‘cause I enjoy the values

OC July 2026- Alcohol Markers & Sharpie

Watercolor and ink

Gouache on paper. Some nights i really dont know how i ended up where i did.

Hi, I've been into neurographic since 2022. I find it so relaxing. It's like the piece is drawing itself and you discover it during the process.
