The experience of drawing action with Drawdio is significant for the flow of electronic sounds. The sound was controlling the outcome of drawing in a process and has priority over the hand gesture. Therefore, lines are an expression of the sound through the motion of the hand gesture.

The process of sonically drawn lines; the abstract form of drawing process, a hand is following an electronic sound, the electronic circuit is triggered by graphite’s conductivity and skin; hands gestures draw and close the circuit simultaneously.
