The state of /ic/

You've awoken, OP, its a sign you're going to make it, but it only gets harder from here. Keep going.

Yes, I've had two similar experiences.
The first one was after working on the same master study over the course of a couple of days. I had painted for four hours or so when I went out for a walk. I looked up at a tree and I was completely stunned by all the color I saw. It was as if I had suddenly grew more cone cells in my eyes and I was able to perceive 10 times more color information than usual. I found myself walking around in a version of reality akin to a impressionist painting with an explosion of hues that should be imperceptible to the human eye everywhere I looked. After about ten minutes it suddenly disappeared. I've never done psychedelic drugs, but the experience was positively psychedelic.

The second experience had more to do with form. I had been doing low poly modeling for six hours straight. Again, I went out for a walk.I looked at some rocks and was surprised at how intensely I perceived their form. I felt like I got the vision of a T-800 Terminator and wrapped wireframs over everything and see the far corners that were hidden from sight. It's really hard to describe in text, but as you said everythign just looked "extremely 3d".

I've had that experience. You should be careful it doesnt overtake the way you see things.

We're more than measurement and physicality. Don't let your art become only concerned with what can be dissected out of life.

A few months ago I did the first observational drawing I had done in around 4 years and it felt like my brain was rewired afterwards.
Not just in my perception but it felt like all my priorities were suddenly different, things I had cared about before I suddenly didn't care about at all (mostly personal annoyances that I've forgotten the details of now).

That’s not healthy nor sustainable. What about tomorrow when you try something new and your entire priorities shift and you give up drawing? No single thing that you do should change everything except maybe idk having a kid or moving country

>>5182565
What the fuck is your problem

>>5182614
woah chill hoss no problem. Just some advice from experience is all. Don’t let things suddenly change everything is all. It’s best to grow over time. Sometimes there will be highs and lows but things shouldn’t generally change your ENTIRE priorities and perspective

>>5182565
lol? Chill the fuck out.

>>5182620
I wasn’t being remotely hostile? I have no idea why that comment was taken badly

>>5182622
No one said you were. You're just overreacting.

i was just getting overly invested in pointless internet drama at the time and that snapped me out of it
i'm not talking about huge life choices

>>5182627
he says he draws for the first time in years and it required his brain and changed his perception of everything, I say slow down cowboy, and I’m the one who’s overreacting? this board is retarded

>spergs out
>deletes his own posts to make minor changes
Nah, yeah, you're right. We're the retards. Maybe just go draw or something, kiddo.

>>5182640
deleted to replace a typo, the reason the delete function exists? What is wrong with you people?

>>5182641
Is it your first day here or something? You're ANONYMOUS. It doesn't fucking matter, and everything is saved in the archives anyway.

>>5182649
So have a look at it. I changed the word required to rewired. I didn’t change it for the record I changed it to make my post easier to read. You badly need to take a chill pill guy

>>5182652
Oh fuck, you got me. Now I realize I was wrong all along. My whole life is a lie. I think I will make rash and life changing choices based solely on your post.

>>5182614
No problem. Enjoy seeing the world as a set of primitives.

You first.
