I just got mah-shelf som kewl stuff. 
Five cans of ābullitā, for todayās session. Itās got a print of DaVinciās dude in a square and a sphere drawing on it. Never figured out why anyone would want to paint someone in that pose, lol. Maybe for making snow-angles though.
Taurine and caffeine, lotsaā¦ :drool:
I guess my secret weapon is coffee, Hans Zimmerās music and huge amount of classical music.
Thatās about it I tend to be most productive during the nighttime.
-JJ
Dude, thatās too dangerous for both the heart and brain. Try hard to reduce it to a normal level asap.
I guess it should be bad since itās excessive, but bad for my brain? :surprised
Iāll see, I hope I can do without, lol.
Since doing some work again during the day Iāve switched to booster drinks. :rolleyes:
Iāll give it a go though, I know I should.
I sit on a comfortable sofa with my laptop and the t.v 
Oh and my trusty Wacom
Gah, Iām such a slob 
I eat lots of junk food. Also teh tarik, which imo is better than coffee (makes me hyper and nervous and insomniac). Studio workshops are really good to help force me to draw Everything is so quietā¦
helicopterr, welcome to the main bulk of high school art theory :arteest:
Darn I learned that in my fourth year in collegeā¦that me, always a step behind the avant garde :banghead:
well like alot of people i listen to music
if im really concentrating and doing a realistic portrait i like quiet and calm music, like just pianos or something :surprised
but generally i listen to metal, and im definately much more productive at night
Yeah, Iām also more productive at night, when no one is around shouting at me: wtf are you doing again OR stop wasting your time go out and see some people. I listen to movie sound tracks and watch extremely stupid movies to learn what not to do and how it should be done according to my vision
I used to drink a lot of Pepsi, not anymoreā¦now I drink a lot of water
I read penguin and wordsworth popular classics
I listen to audio lectures on various topics for half an hour, sometimes while working
A bit vague I guessā¦ thereās no ārightsā to that question anyways Well, I really donāt have a certain set āritual of making artworkā - but I did realize that exposing myself to books, thoughts, music, moviesā¦ influences me! Makes me open to more ideas. To me it feels like that the less i experience, the bigger the chance of an artistĀ“s block! On the other hand, I personally feel that listening to music while Iām making art somehow influences me badly: Iām being biased by someone elseās song or movie playing in the background.
No gear (slows you down and dulls the senses), no cigs (you keep stopping to spark up instead of staying in the zone), no booze either - just a cup of tea, cool sounds and no distractions.
That does it for me.
It depends.
Procrastination boosts my speed, creativity, and sometimes even skill!!! (yes iām an art hulkā¦ lol ) :bounce:
Being in a community college spawns a strange phenomenon: when ever I must study for a test, have homework or anything due pretty soon on a subject that has absolutely nothing to do with art, I get all sorts of ideas and get these crazy creative Nirvana-like states.
as for coffee goes, it can be considered my life support in the mornings. Art in the morning is harsh (as every other activity in the universe) :wise:
Sometimes I have to force myself to pick up a pencil and paper, instead of working at the PC all the time.
Wow many people listen to music while they work ā¦ [?] you listen ta metal and can still work, whoaā¦iron concentration 
Ahh also when spring arrives I tend to want to paint more. Yay for green happy things and blue sky.
I go all fuzzy in springtime, have a hard time concentrating on anything else than the brightly lit scenery, or shadows between the trees and what not. (dragonflies, butterflies, plants birdsā¦ yaddah yadahh)
