As a result, the sample population are able to concentrate while drawing lines at a high level, and can apply meditative drawing methods to create individuated drawings as well. Although there are differences in line drawing skills of the sample population and the activity areas are, it not causes much effect on concentration while drawing, but on the individuated drawings only. Because of the practice rules of meditative drawing have clearly defined the sample population to follow, and the results of that compliance also had an effect on concentration while the sample population was performing the line drawing.
