DUDE you like... ever draw when you were on drugs?
>>7942364louis wain was never on drugs or had schizophrenia, he was just good
>>7942366Built in drugs same thing
I can't know for sure because I've never done it nor do I have any inclination to truly find out but I think you're committing to a Faustian bargain when you get high in order to be creative. To some degree you're letting spirits you can't understand contact you and work through you. That's a retarded thing to do.
never used drugsnever smokednever been drunkdraw erryday
>>7942364yes anti-depressants and weed, loser combo. it'll probably make my art worse long term but i cant live without this shit.
Ive tried drawing on shrooms and acid a couple times. Its really fun in the moment and it feels great to put lines down on the paper. But then id sit back and look at my work and it was all wonky and amateur looking. Then you feel some weird mental pressure where its like ooooh im tripping right now haha I better draw some cool trippy art! But then your mind is blank so you just draw some crude, shitty little cartoon dog very slowly and then stare at it for 5 minutes straight and then feel existential dread because youre supposed to be some kind of artist but all you did was draw a shitty little cartoon dog. Then you just want to feeeeeel the paper and ruffle it and listen to the noises it makes. You keep ruffling and ruffling the paper and the noise seems to keep getting louder and louder and faster and faster and then it gets too intense and you throw the paper behind you and dash outside as fast as possible
>>7942364Of course. Did this on acid
>>7942487Sick. My drawing's shit but the colors were awesome.
>>7942487... lmao dude.
>>7942364I can't do shit on shrooms but I've been on a bender with THC lately and it has shat up my proportions... though When I'm high I'm more patient and cautious because I'm high so I take the time to fully construct something out resulting in solid figures, the only thing is I can't really put any style in it brush stroke wise because I cant even conceive of advanced techniques while blazed out of my mind. The caffeine I was taking gave me great balance for a while but when it wore off it left me very morose and I bought a vape that made me happy, so I did it every where, at work, at the park, in the house until I felt like I was underwater, tired and overwhelmed all the time so I'm taking a little break from it.
>>7942364Yes, I had the bright idea to smoke a 45% THC Sativa preroll (only third time smoking weed) while I was already experiencing a manic episode last year. While it did initially have a very exciting stimulating effect on my artwork it also had the consequence of triggering a protracted period of full-blown psychosis involving messianic delusions, paranoia (thinking i was a sleeper agent or that my friend who works in AI was trying to recruit me to help him invent a hell portal) and general terror and insomnia. "One-shotted" as I've been hearing it put lately.I guess that's just a me problem though. More power to you guys who aren't latent schizos and can handle it
>>7942597jesus christ, sucks to hear that, nice akira vibes though
>>7942613Thank you my friend; I hope it can be a cautionary tale
>>7942364Smoking weed improves my line quality and perspective tremendously but fucks up my proportions/placement somehow.
>>7942622The Kim Jung Gi effect
>>7942597you really like Akira hahah. Nice drawings dude. You're basically prohibited from smoking weed if you're bipolar or literal schizo.
>>7942364I took aripripazole for 4 days and it severely impacted my drawing ability so I'm never taking meds again
>>7942518Thanks and lol it’s a neat drawing! Reminds me of something from cup head. Like a dlc boss or some shit
Drew on thc, lsd, mushrooms. It's fun but everything you can do inebriated are also things you can do sober. It's better to work on whatever hang-ups you have regarding art instead. Most of /ic/ is mentally ill, so if you're reading this, steer clear of drugs unless you wanna risk awakening some latent schizophrenia
>>7942721>steer clear of drugs
>>7942693Thanks anon; Otomo's the goatest goatAt least a BPD girl gave me my first kiss when I was at the ward
LSD : cheaper than art school.
>>7942597Blog?
>>7942779Ey surewww.instagram.com/kazwfiev/
Tripping hard as fuck when I did this lmfao
>>7943091
>>7942364Me and my friend this together haha >>7942752Love this, very inspiring. The way everything blends together is a hallmark way to visualize the lsd experience
>>7942364Me and my friend were having conversations about how privileged we are to be able to walk, see, hear, etc
I like drawing on weed sometimes, it can be comfy. It makes me care less, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what I'm doing. I just like drawing random shit like this while on weed because colors are funTried drawing on LSD a couple times but never got anything cohesive going, I'd always get too distractedAdderall is literally the fix(tm) but I don't have a prescription for it so it's hard to get
>>7943094It was an education It impacted my style definitely. From a cartoony simplicity into a more "realistic" kind of rendering where the characters weren't defined by intrusive lines but as using black spaces to define white objects, Frank Miller comes to mind. The figures in this are horrendous but I pondered the whole when doing it,and not compledted all in one trip. I have later works with shifting imagery like this,and one significant example is of a bear shaped entity constructed of shifting scenes of bears in their own environments, their present predicaments representing the mood of the Bear Avatar. In this work I was thinking of a Renaissance Gentleman with a plumed hat embodying a story.
>>7942364Yea but I usually just end up making weird voodoo crap on the marijuana
>>7942597I never get delusions like that. I prefer the energy of sativa but i get better ideas with indica or hybrids. Indica will make me sluggish though.
>>7943152I was prescribed vyvanse and it made a serious measurable difference in my lines and attention to detail it was fucking awesome
>>7943526Yeah it's just my fucked up brain
My friend and I used to smoke DMT and draw together. I don’t think it made me better but it certainly influenced my art.
I drew this when I smoked weed when I was 17.
>>7945370How can you draw anything if your entire FOV is just fractals and incomprehensible deities
>>7945661That’s not how DMT works, you don’t just immediately go into hyperspace. You can smoke smaller amounts and experience sub-breakthrough doses.It’s really fun to draw on. You can really feel the lines and color, every stroke of the pen feels like it has meaning and purpose. I was drawing with my friend and the art felt like an almost telepathic form of communication between us. Very cool.
>>7942414but inked and this is the whole mistake
>>7942733women are angels
>>7942733Was she a horny bitch
>>7942419Never done any drug, but if not wellbutrin i wouldn't even draw shit, i would sleep all day
>>7948046those probably help your drawing ability, im on ssri's, ndri's drive me nuts
drug recs for a depressed, completely anhedonic NEET with nothing to lose? I used to take SSRIs years ago but they stopped working fast and left me with PSSD, haven't taken anything since
>>7948058Pick up a hobby that requires you to move around outside.
>>7948059nigga I don't think you know what anhedonic means, I can go jog in the forest with the birds chirping and sun shining on my face all I like, feel nothing other than an overwhelming desire to kms, and come home even more exhausted than I was.
>>7948062Drugs aren't going to recalibrate your brain to feel anything after getting mind raped by SSRIs as a teenager. You need to focus on reintegrating into society and the best way to get your foot into the door is to have an activity that gives your life structure. You'll always feel weird for not feeling emotions like you see other people feel them but that facsimile you're forced to perform in public becomes at least a little genuine after a while.
>>7948058ndri's like wellbrutin. lifes too short to not try to fix it with drugs, and most of the usual advice is bullshit if you live in a low trust society like Amer*ca.
>>7948070absolutely fucking not I'm not trading being depressed for being depressed AND violently misanthropic again. I've had j*bs before. hikki lifestyle might not be solving all my problems but it's fucking heaven compared to the misery of having to interact with people every day. once I'm forced to do this again with no hope of returning to NEETdom, I will kill myself then and I'm not exaggerating, I've made preparations for it, I'm fundamentally incompatible with this way of life. Sorry but all I'm looking to do is to eke out some semblance of pleasure out of my existence before this inevitably happens, not engage with boilerplate normiebabble.>>7948089I'm not in America actually and haven't heard of NDRIs, just SSRIs and SNRIs. apparently it's not as widespread here, I'll look into it.
Observe ancient wisdom o Anons.
>>7948099I've never sought uselessness as a choice so I don't know how to advise you any further. I hope if you do take drugs they jump start some will to live in you and you take that opportunity to reintegrate into normal society. There's a lot to like about people even though it's hard to relate to them sometimes.
>>7942364Always high on life nigga
>>7948016I've never been cockblocked that hard in my life, she was literally a 10/10... at least we got to rub each other's legs under the table>>7947970Some can turn into demons at a moment's notice, though...I can't blame her though, she'd been through a lot
The very first Dripping Eyes picture.Now they're my signature imagery.
i tend to draw while high. drawing while sober is still addictive but in the comfort of my own home, it's some cozy fun shit. drawing drunk is also fun but i likely wont finish what i started and will have to do so the following morning sober
>>7942364I just finished drawabox and my art doesn't look like this. Should I start over again? I must have missed something crucial in the 25 tire challenge
>>7948694Sorry about the blue balls
>>7948704And a recent Dripping Eyes picture...
most drugs make you draw like ass because they nuke hand eye coordination. They are useful for critiquing your own art though
Did this tripping in a bar frequented by many of my coworkers.
>>7942364I don't want other people on drugs, only me. they will ruin my experience.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B8NMDmoujfo&ra=m
>>7949360What's your sober art level? Intermediate?
>>7949505I did a comic strip for over a decade without any outside influences, but when Covid ate the website and domain name was cyber squatted by China, I had a crippling depression at the futility of continuing it. But detailed elsewhere is how finding marijuana resparked my urge to create. And over the past 3 years it has appeared in my life I find it very difficult to put pen to paper when I run out. I have tried to,and will try again when the supply wanes. My skill is the same, but inspiration drowns in my woes which are many and weighing my drawing hand down. A small bowlful provides a buoyancy of spirit artificially, yes, and I accept the health penalties that purposely inhaling smoke of any sort inflicts, because it makes art happen.
This is one of the last strips of what I call the Snowglobe story. What began as a random sketch of a demon head that I built a story around as a "one shot ", a whole page panel of a story in progress that I could embed details to inspire a reader to imagine how the tale might proceed. It led to a second, a third, and I suddenly had a story caught midway in its telling, and I had to stop whete I was and think up the beginning that led to the first strip with that demon head that came out so well that it deserved a place in my ficdom. I had originally planned on a completely different storyline and strip shape for my website: newspaper sized, easier to both create in my spare time and to syndicate to newspapers and book collections. But suddenly I was stuck in waiting rooms and away from my computer that made it possible, and the demon head was the first thing that I drew in the new sketchbook that I brought along to pass the time with.

This thread is an excellent exhibition on how useless drugs are as a creative supplement. The most productive drug user in this thread appears to be >>7950851 this guy and all he does is make poorly drafted scribble comics littered with vanity philosophy. Surely if you want to be a loser in life, you need to do drugs.
>>7952077I am sorry not to have your approval. I will continue my scribbles just to see where they go. The composition is random and suffers from it to some extent, but I skip around when I am making these recent works all over the page. Start in a place, branching out with light lines then bringing older bits into focus and expanding the composition. I like what I make. I may shift focus very soon from single drawings like this very soon. But for now, I am happy.
>>7950851>>7952563Your comic me like it. Give me blog me want read it
My addiction is drawing. My drug is art. The only toxic chemicals I need are paints.
>>7952626Last year around this time I made a thread of all my work, starting with the entire Snowglobe story 180+ strips, my only 16 page self contained prototype comic fully completed that I created to teach myself Photoshop Legerdermain, along with other stuff. And I did that because I lost what drawing time I had and sacrificed my marijuana money for bills for most of the year, and produced only this, and only through the kindness of a friend I received some pot so old it came in actual Dime Bags, but it was enough. And since the $25 per week average I spend is now a necessity. Art can only happen through it, and art must happen. But here is stuff at my Deviantart, a thing I haven't updated in years. https://www.deviantart.com/jeremeyprickles/gallery
>>7942364i have aspergers and i see random colorful effects constantly, but i just ignore it. am i permanently high or something? people talk about LSD the way i see normally.
>>7952864I cannot say it's a big error since I used to do it, but you should quiet down with the exaggerated grins, or expressions in general, perhaps it is just me, but rarely do people ever use the muscles in their face to this great extent and it makes it look inexperienced. I like your commitment to drawing. If you are going for a circus look, have a look at real clowns or Bosch expressions.
>>7942366he did have a traumatic brain injury.
>>7942414>tattoostay away from my kids!
>>7942364I cunt draw when on drugs. Even on a lil bit of alchohol, my hand simply does not listen and my ability to navigate a 3d immaginary space becomes barely existent.Want mad ideas? Stay awake with the bros up untill 4 am, and brainstorm
>>7962687>he even HAS the ability to navigate a 3D imaginary space in the first placeShut up talentfag, you have no idea how hard this shit is for us wordcels, we’re playing on nightmare mode all the time. Your drug-induced stupor is our default state
>>7957526Big goofy grinning things are my forte.That and dripping eyes. And I have never drawn a clown.
>>7948704>>7949226The one with the clear background is somehow a lot more striking and professional looking than the one with a filled in backgroundMaybe work on some shading techniques that can darken more of the image and draw attention to certain parts, I like where your work is going
>>7964393I would approach a "professional" project differently, with a lot more planning and Photoshop legerdermain. These later works of mine are "getting anything on paper as a victory", considering I could only manage one picture in the entirety of 2025. Before that, I could have my after work bowlful of inspiration and just see where a random sketch goes. This started as a random stalk of eyes, then the characters reacting to it, then creating mini environments as studies for a tshirt design with such a background.
>>7964393I would compose in one spot, define some other thing, skip around adding details then compose some more. And these are the results, and worthy as themselves at least as research for myself.
And the work itself. It was something to draw for my education, so I cannot say its Done, but put down, having learned enough from its execution.
I don't do drugs because I am not a faggot nor am I 16 years old.
>>7963439>>7964546>>7964552Visual diarrhea, all of it.
If your ability goes away under pyschoactives you were only ever borrowing your skill from an egregore.
Someone said it great in another thread recently, drugs don't make you smart, they just make you think you're smart.Artistic creativity has more in common with math and science than you might think. It's difficult intellectual work that requires long, careful reflection. Most of the best ideas come to people when they're sober and thinking clearly.
the junkies aren't sending their best
>>7966561I miss Donndrrr :(
I did draw a picture of Judee(from the puppet pals mod for snoot game) naked after eating a edible. It's not very good and idk how to draw breast or pussy lol(wasn't porn no, just a nude because I like her so much)
>>7966559PsstIt's a Grind,specifically for figuring out stuff for other pictures. Before criticizing anyone, work on your reading comprehension, sailor.
>>7966568And if your ability enhances 10x and you're acquiring knowledge, both spiritual and skillwise that was supposed to take much longer to cultivate? The aether gives you Schizophrenia!
>>7967341 My dude, I have seen you post your retarded illegible furry shit over and over again on this board. Everything you produce sucks and you will not take any kind of legit criticism. 'It's muh style!!1!" Cope harder.
>>7942364my shroom drawing from years ago , I had a schizophrenic arc that is maybe more visually interesting but there’s something nice about this bearded man and his flowers and I still think about him often
>>7942366>>7942364I hate this fag and his gay drawings.
>>7949230Druggie art is ugly art, and I will hold that opinion until I die. All they're doing is numbing the part of their brains that actually has standards, allowing them to shit out whatever nonsense is already up there. It doesn't actually add anything.

My latest project is well on its way, but here is a mural I attempted in a Greenwich Village NYC bar called the Aztec Lounge. A punk place where I met dealers and such fun folk.
And the only other photo of it. It was too much of a commute to work all night and then paint that after traveling from New Jersey, and every time I took a sabbatical the punks would descend and graffiti it up.I was paid in drinks, and that was primarily cranberry juice since anything with alcohol would make me pass out.
It didn't last long.Yuppies took it over and made it airy and bright, with a hip modern look that you forgot halfway down the street when leaving it.
