Bust open some ideas with Freestyle Drawing!There are many interpretations of freestyle drawing on the internet these days and I'm sure if you are reading this than you have probably read them already. Some refer to it as freehand drawing, which is drawing with aids or stencils. Some also describe it as just drawing until the whole picture is filled onto the paper or doodling.
Drawing freestyle is basically freehand drawing, but drawing what ever comes to mind.It is more of an organic drawing experience where your mind takes over and your hand and pencil is just the medium it needs to get its ideas on to paper.It is a way of just getting all of your thoughts out of your head like a huge brainstorm of rambling words except with lines. It is a great way of getting out of a creativity road block. It is like the artists' way of unblocking his block. The old way for a writer is to just start typing and get things out on to the paper even if it doesn't make sense. To me, this is freestyle drawing. 
Sure you may have a theme or emotion in your head that you are trying to get out; but just putting the pencil to the paper and creating that first line whether it be perfect or not is the first step. "Let your mind be your muse and your hand it's tool, not the other way around."When you start thinking to much you may tend to put up these road blocks in your thinking which can cripple the creative process.If you put your pencil or pen to the paper and let every mark change with every thought that is in your head you will be very surprised at the finished product that you have when you are done. The picture below is a perfect example of this.
