/lwad/#2Previous: >>7849114I'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:>Why?Whether or not medicating has a significant effects on learning, if it only has a partial effect on some related disciplines that go into drawing, or it arguably had no major effect at all, I want this thread to feed into any discussion as a case example. I also chose /ic/ since I know this board doesn't pull back punches.>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.>Are you Asian?No, white.>What is your drawing experience?I would doodle as a kid but dropped it in my mid-teens. I took and dropped a starter drawing class in college that was mostly figure studies. Good teacher but I had shit motivation.>What are your current struggles?Motivation to draw something that challenges me tends to be few and far between. Taking the medication out of prescribed times also jacked up my sleep schedule.>Thoughts so far?The medication does help focus, but it has a volatility where I can hyper-focus on distractions instead. Discipline and taking care of yourself are the two most important things.>What study materials are you going to use?Currently doing a sample-platter type stuff and studies. A few books on backlog.>What are your goals?To help a friend out with shared projects.
Didn't manage much today. Also the washer I mentioned last night might be borked.
Fundamentally fucked this one up with the stairs off center and I Didn't really make a real left right VP.Debating if I just want to render this one anyway to test some stuff out or try something similar all fresh now that I have a better idea,.
>>7965883this is pretty bold choice of subject to practice for perspective while having mental illness.Why the fuck did you jump into 2 point perspective of a whole house?
Distracted wizard casting fireball on a hydra. Did a two-ish hour straight sit-down. >>7966570I had an idea, but I didn't set / track real VPs so it was doomed from the start.I did feel something click though, so it's something I'll try tackling later.
