General dedicated to posting and discussing art of either:
1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.

Hello /ic/!

I've obtained a prescription for (generic) Adderall and wanted to experiment on how it affected learning to draw. I opened this thread to document my progress and for everyone else's observation / amusement.

My goal with this thread is to simply take an Adderall and draw for at least a couple hours a day and post the results. Realistically I may miss some days. The hope is to keep these threads ongoing until I'm either satisfied with the progress documented, or I crash out.

Probable Questions:
>Are you actually diagnosed with ADD / ADHD?
Yes, ADD. I believe inattentive. Been diagnosed since 2003 but never treated long-term.
>How old are you?
31.
>Do you work?
Yes. Full time with a very emotionally draining job.
>Are you on the spectrum?
Undiagnosed but I'm pretty sure. High functioning if so.

I take Strattera. It helps with planning, executive functions and focus. I dont think a medication exists that makes you "better" at art. At most you now can do drawing longer. Saying that any medication makes you better at art is like saying medication exists that increases your IQ.

I was getting ready to say "I'll fuckin' do them again" and blow your mind, but trying it this way without guide / reference and figuring it out myself fried my brain a little.

>>7884276
I'm not under any illusion that it in itself will make me better at art, it's more like what >>7880575 said.

The medication has me in my free time go from a mouth breathing, screen-fixated dumb dumb to a mouth breathing, screen fixated dumb dumb who can detour to the pencil and paper for a couple of hours at least.

It’s hard to look at. Not in the sense that it’s ugly but that it’s just kind of violent if that makes sense. Like wings are generally seen as soft and you’re portraying them as almost knife sharp. Hands are padded but they’re kind of sown together here. The sun’s beams are very aggressive and it looks very angry . Like as the viewer it’s very difficult for me to see what “vibe” you’re going for here. Horror? So why are there a sun and moon? Trippy? Why are there so many warm colors and no cool ones? Fantasy? Then why the beam, sword, etc. Like you have the right idea here but they all clash against one another and make the overall piece suffer, even though the skill is indeed there

Hmmm... when I design a character, my usual go-to is to start adding in the least saturated colors as base colors and work from there (though I don't always adhere to this rule).
I think you're on the right track with muting the colors, but don't be afraid to play around with what you like as well.

Colors aside, it's a little difficult to judge a character from a sketch alone. Character design is a *very* iterative process and rarely do beginners get the ideal design they want from the getgo-- it took me years to get some of my characters' designs juuuuuuuuust right. You'll certainly get there with time, patience, and, of course, drawing!
