Do any of you drink while drawing?
Over the years I've picked up a habit of always having a glass of single-malt on my desk whenever I work. It helps me cope with boredom and being alone in front of my monitor all day and I dare say It helps me be more creative and decisive. I enjoy the habit and the few advantages, that come with it, but I also realize my work might suffer a little and yet I have no intention to stop. As Churchill said: "I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." I wonder if I'm alone with this.

drinking is a disgusting vice for weak people

I'm interested in the subject aswell. I smoke joints and paint in photoshop. Usually I get the same advantages like you in the OP described..

sorry i already have enough addiction issues, i am wary of starting new ones. they are hard as fuck to over come.

I find chewing gum helpful for a huge stint concentrating in front of a screen. If I had a drink I'd end up trying to hold it and use that hand at the same time, and probably spill shit all over my keyboard
>>
>>2454165
I tried that as well and while it's fun to paint high it just dulls my edge too much. Especially proportions become hard to judge. I don't seem to have that with alcohol.
Either way, a joint after a hard working day is pure bliss to me and part of my way of life - but not my working life.

Why would you drink that pisswater when you have Hoegaarden?

A lot of great artists (visual or otherwise) are notorious drinkers.

Djurdjevic advocated drinking heavily if you're experiencing artist's blocks. Some of his greatest apparently came to him while out with friends.

I only drink coffee and water most of the time, alcohol is for when I'm out with friends.

Sometimes after a few beers and cigs I really get into the zone of drawing and I quite enjoy it
I definitely have a "drunk drawing" symptom which is on level with drunk texting.

Ah the old good drugs thread of /ic/, let me enlighten you:
>Alcohol will make you draw better and more loosely, without fear, great for drawing when you feel stiff and don't know where to start
>Weed willbmake you draw worse BUT paint much better, and will make you focus more easily, great for painting when you're already a couple hours into the piece
>Shrooms (up to 1g) will make your compositional skills skyrocket, you will feel like the painting is painting itself and you're just there giving it what it wants, great for starting a painting
That being said, alcohol will give you cancer, so don't drink more than a beer, weed is mostly fine but will make you only want to paint when high, and shrooms are fine, literally healthier than coffee.
Don't know about other drugs because I've never applied them to drawing or haven't tried them or don't have an effect on me like coffee or salvia leaves.

Stop drinking so much for a week to get your tolerance back, then drink ONE beer but those from belgium with like 7-8% alcohol.

I've never drawn while drunk, I just wanted to see if it would make a significant difference.
Don't hit me, senpai.

Proportions are such a bitch if you try to draw on drugs.

I'm too paranoid to drink alcohol or do drugs for I might say things that I will regret.

Drugs and Dunning-Kruger go hand in hand. Prove me wrong, retards.
And posting famous artists who do drugs doesn't really substantiate your own advocacy now does it?

Maybe you should see a counselor or something... Sounds like you really need to talk about it. You've been in other threads and say the same thing- just don't want you to bottle it all up and end up doing something fucking awful. I'm always afraid that I'll let slip that I was molested as a kid by older, bigger kids and ruin my life but it has yet to happen cause weed doesn't make you talk about shit you'd rather not- that's alcohol and e. You won't do that after a joint trust me but you do need to uh, find an outlet for that problem. Seriously.
Hitting a bowl helps me calm down and not over think stuff, my lines are more confident and can figure out proportions way easier. Don't get as easily frustrated either.

Hello anon, I'm FBI, how are you day? You mentioned a attraction to children yes?

Pot smokers are fucking idiots.

drinking usually helps with that "just do it", usually sober my brain always prevents me from starting a project or anything like that, since alcohol lowers inhibitions i guess that helps
sometimes it makes me want to be drunk all the time, i'd probably be high functioning, too bad i cant afford to drink , i should get a job
