Did you know we draw fractals with eyes closed?

Closing your eyes while drawing fractal changes the entire experience. When we draw with our eyes open, we constantly make tiny decisions, because we choose where the line should go, avoid certain areas, correct its direction and try to make the result look balanced. With closed eyes, that familiar visual control is temporarily unavailable, you cannot plan the next turn or arrange the spaces neatly, your hand has to move without knowing exactly what is happening on the paper.

The closed-eye line is created according to precise instructions, so it is not simply random scribbling. There is a clear framework, but within that framework you meet a small amount of uncertainty, because you are present, involved and responsible for the movement, yet you cannot fully control the visible result.

This does not mean to completely switching off your conscious mind, in fact, you may notice yourself more clearly. Perhaps you become aware of how tightly you are holding the pen, whether your movements are hesitant or confident, or how strongly you want to open your eyes and check what is happening.

When the eyes open, people are often surprised by the network that has appeared.

In fractal drawing, we do not take one curve or crossing and attach a fixed meaning to it, because the whole drawing and the whole process matter. Even before the first colour is added, self-observation has already begun...
