As always there's a story with my art, so here it is:
"Eureka," she cried, as she floated away, "with the help of the mushrooms I've become free at last!"
Some people discover freedom from the world by sliding into a drug induced state...this was supposed to maybe show that first "eureka-moment" when one such soul discovers she can run from her problems and starts down a road to which for many there is no end.

Drew "blind" (ie blindfolded) for the first 15 minutes, put the little details in with my eyes open, final time was 32 minutes. Indian ink on paper.
Hope you guys like it.

Just a very quick one today - 15 mins, PS + Wacom. I tried doing the sketching directly with the Wacom rather than pencil and paper -- need more practice on that as the result shows.

Went for the classical Eureka! Where Archimedes lept out of the bath tubs running through the streets of Syracuse after discovering that he could determine the volumne of any object by the amount of water it displaced. :-)

Bit abstract this one, but had fun drawing it.

Blithe - you drew that for the first 15 minutes without looking at it? I'm impressed!

Yup, that's how I start every drawing of mine. I had taken my first and only art class ever this past year at school and came away from it very disenchanted, I really stopped art almost entirely afterwards since I just had such a negative view of it after the class. My teacher took art and made into something objective instead of subjective, it no longer was an expression of you and yourself and your view on things, nor was it narrative. Now art was something rigid, there was only one way to do it, only one style, and only certain topics and subjects were considered ok. If it didn't meet those criteria it was, somehow, not considered art. I think you can see how that turned me off to art for a while. I finally got back into it after a rather violent break up, and that all somehow led me to drawing blindfolded. I do every single one of my pieces of art that way, I find it really forces me to pour myself out onto the paper, if I can't see what I'm doing I'm not always constantly saying "oh that doesn't look good" or "I need to tweak this" and all of those rigid constraints my art teacher imparted on me seem to dissappear. I find drawing blind just lets me get it all out there on the paper, often times I'll have a picture in mind, close my eyes and just draw. Sometimes it is nothing but squiggles, but somehow I can still tell what it is supposed to be. I then just go about, eyes open, taking those squiggles or basic forms of the picture and making it into a finished piece. Sometimes I draw blind for a few minutes, sometimes it's hours. So yeah, that's how I do it!

Eureka is actually greek for 'I found it'(or i've attained it, yaddah yaddah, you knwo how it is with ancient languages), it's famed for a greek philosopher that was thinking on a problem and was sitting in the tub when he jumped up and screamed eureka. In later days psychologists have tried to stop this phenomenon several times over, even inventing a new 'odd personality disorder', they called it schizotypal. Luckily al attempts have been thwarted and life won again.

drawing without looking at the paper is an exercise in this fantastic art book I am slowly getting through. you might like it. it might help you.

This thread made me think of people coming across something, so I picked a waterfall. I was more concerned with lighting than anything else. 30 minutes in Photoshop for this one.
