There are many reasons for the professional and commercial type by which we learn to draw and we put it into practice, not only to earn money but also to seek recognition and fame. Desiring to be an artist and achieve it is a commendable goal, and the resulting achievements are quite attractive because personal development in this field is broad enough and is most of the time highly productive and remunerative. The traditional purposes associated with this activity, depending on the level and the specialty acquired (painting, design, advertising, etc.), can be grouped into the following categories:

8. Explore and rehearse with symbologies
9. Entertain and have fun, combining the 8 previous points
Already before, we mentioned that the three activities that give support to the system: reading, writing and drawing, generate benefits that are common to them, but also accentuates each of different degrees and also generate additional advantages.
However, the traditional purposes that we have mentioned, about regarding the WHY AND FOR WHAT TO DRAW while we walk, the benefits that we obtain, are the following:
1.-Increase mental abstraction and relaxation.
2.-We get to know and understand ourselves better.
3.-Allows us to abstract ourselves in our unconscious interiority through fantasy and realistic imagination.
4.-Invigorates the unconscious.
5.-We essentially increase introspection, voluntary and conscious knowledge of ourselves.
6.-Increase imaginary constructions.
7.-Various sensory capacities are increased, such as creativity, imagination, inventiveness, etc.
8.-We induce the processes of consciousness as retrospective acts
9.-The symbolic means of the unconscious are promoted; symbolic images of the unconscious
10.-In relation to the imagination, develops the ability to relive mental images and increases the possibilities of combination of images. It stimulates fantasy imagination and constructive imaginings.
11.-Various parts of the brain are stimulated, which have been slow or diminished by not using them.
12.-Revitalizes some mental mechanisms, conscious and unconscious, that lead to an improvement of health and various physical systems of the body and mind.
13.-Increases psychomotor attention.
And dozens of satisfactions more.
For the achievement of these 13 benefits that we obtain, while we walk, and others, it is recommended to avoid oral images, that is, not to think with words, but to try to achieve pure visual images, for this we could resort to some special practices within the subject of creativity or the zen and yoga type (for example, using the technique of “A-U-M” repeating it orally so many times until the verbal thoughts are completely eliminated), in such a way that we avoid thinking as much as possible orally.
A good warm-up practice to invite our unconscious directly to generate visual images and we can release the hand better by drawing, is to make quick sketches of what we see and observe, while we are walking; with a frequency of 3 or 4 of them in a lapse of 10-20 minutes.
The resulting symbolic visual ideas, after some time (15-30 minutes or less), can be expressed a) orally, b) through drawings or c) in writing. You must write what you have visualized (draw the symbols that have appeared in your mind).
