Somehow, I want to use the third of the Spring Greetings image. It's just SO BADASS. IT MUST HAVE A PURPOSE.

LOL! Aw I feel honored! Go right on ahead!

It looks like the cover picture for some-

...oooooh.

Damn. You make me wanna write my original fiction again.

O__o you make it sound like a bad thing! DO IT!! I'd love to read it :D

Argh. It's tired and cliché by this point and I've had the idea for so long, I'll never be satisfied with how I write it.

But I think that that picture is going to forever on unofficially be of Morgan to me. OTL.

....

I hate caffein with passion, but now I want to try and see if it works for me too.


/shot.

(great pics by the way, I love the last one. But I love creepy and sadic!smiles, so I'm a little biased here.)

I'm sure it has different effects on people since caffeine is supposed to make people hyped, not relax like it does to me.

Curiosity... it's what kills artists not cats.

(Thank you! Yea some people liked the second one better because it looked eviler to them... I think it looks more evil when the villain is smiling cause it has this charm and joy to their evil doings and that makes it creepier )

lol even your signature changes between the two pictures.

What about if you take some type of natural caffene? Something your body will break down better.

LOL it DOES!!

and I did not know that even existed... I should look into that.

I think the test needs to be done a bit more and tweaked to catch some of the faults in the testing.

For example, whenever you do something more than once, you get better with each time. Like for your drawings, it will take less time the more you do the same drawing.

Another, is that you each time you do the drawing, you could be thinking of different ways to draw it while doing the first part of the test. So, even if you do or don't drink caffiene for the second time, it will be drawn differently since you had time to think of it more.

Does it make sense?

Oh yea it totally makes sense.

But the issue about getting better each time I draw is that I usually DON'T draw the same thing over and over again. Which means I want to find out what I can do to be right the first time. But the weird part is that I intended to change away from the original picture on the second one, but I tried my best to make it look like the previous cube on the 3rd one. So I actually thought less.

But I understand what you're trying to say. So how should I fix it? Or should I ask is there even a way to fix it?

Hmm...good question. Artwork is very hard to do a scientific experiment on.

Oh, this might work. First off, a grading scale would have to be created to judge each drawing on certain aspects (like color, shading, line, etc.). Then, the test:

Do a round of drawings with two variables. (I don't know if a control can be done at all). One variable is without caffeine, the second with caffeine. The pictures would be different for every time. Now, each picture would be graded on the scale, essentially eliminating the difference between the drawings that are different. Now, who does the grading scale should be multiple people other than just yourself.

I would also suggest that this be done several times, at different times of the day. And to make sure that caffeine is not in your system while doing the noncaffeine portion of the test.

This is only a basis of a test. There are still huge errors and variables not being accounted for or controlled. For example, your mood while drawing, time of day could effect drawing skills, artist is tired or not, who grades the artwork, etc.


I hope that this basis of an experiment helps.

hmmmmmmmm

Megan, have I told you how awesome you are lately? 'cause you are.
I shall plan something out then! Thank you SO much for the input!!
