Abstract
This research attempts to analyze the creative process involved in drawing by examining the behavior of a skilled artist.
Drawing usually requires several hours because a realistic rendering of structure, texture, and shadow involves the
accurate perception and depiction of space in terms of both proportion and perspective. In this study, two and a half
hours were devoted to creating a drawing. The operation and coordination of the actions that comprised the process
of drawing were examined according to the points at which shifts in behavior occurred. The analyses revealed that
drawing consists of movements and characteristic changes over time. The drawing of objects, in particular, involves
"looking" clearly, which is reflected in postures that "close the distance or increase the distance from the picture".
The results suggest that changes in posture for visual perception, underpin the positions assumed by the artist and
control the process of drawing.
