Illustration Collaboration

While exploring the drawing exercises for my slides I noticed that childhood drawing games which involved collaboration were quite common. I found it quite interesting that these were considered quite basic and crude, and that it is a technique that isn’t really used outside of primary school in the creative process. This doesn’t make sense as I find that these collaborative techniques often produce a much more unique and creative output than what I might create alone.

Illustration collective Nous Vous’ created a drawing machine which makes use of collaboration and forces three people to work on the same drawing. It works like a giant etch a sketch and each person controls a different movement by pulling on string.
