Something I did while having the best trip of my life...

I made some art!
I first drew these in charcoal on paper. Then took digital pictures of each. Then photoshopped em'. Let me know what you think.
I got lost for about 2 hours just drawing these. Was absolutely amazing. My inspiration came from watching my incense burn (watching the smoke dance and breath) and listening to T00L

Wow. I really like those a lot. The photoshop ones look nice, they don't look tacky like a lot of photoshop stuff. I really like the unaltered one though. It has a lot of motion, the lines are really nice. I can see the smoke in it for sure. I know what you mean by getting lost in drawing, I had one trip where I spent a long time just completely absorbed in a drawing. I don't like it a lot now, but there are several parts that were just unlike anything I had made before. Drawing is a really nice thing to do on a journey like that, it is something that is sort of like a record of your jumbled thoughts that you can look at later. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts too!
I totally know what oyu mean about how all your jumbled thoughts come out on the paper. At the time I drew these I was in a vey primal and fluid state (mentally). I feel like these sort of look like some sort of functioning, microscopic structure of the brain or blood stream.
I dunno, that is just sort of what I felt...
The thing I really like about drawing while on mushrooms, is that I can see all the depth and surfaces perfectly. I can see angles and my hand just moves to them without me even thinking about it really.
Anyways, thanks again.

I also vouch for the unaltered one being the most impressive looking.

Hehe, I wish I knew what I was thinking too.
That would be sweet if they could make a video monitor that perfectly illustrated the imagery and thoughts in our heads so that others could view them!
Man o man. Someone could make a fortune with that kind of toy

Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant." Hunter S. Thompson.

Very nice. Mushrooms are such a tremendous source for creativity and inspiration. I do some amateur photography, and also fiddle around with Photoshop now and then. I'll usually start with a photo, then just manipulate it until I find something I like. I'm not very good at drawing, and I've barely ever even considered using a drawing as a basis for some Photoshop until I saw your pictures. Now I'm going to give that a shot. I particularly like the 3rd image.

I particularly like the 3rd image.
What I did was take a digital picture making the whole drawing fill up the whole frame.
Then in photoshop I cropped out anything that isn't the white paper and the charcoal (not much cropping to do if you take a good picture that fills the whole frame of your field of view).
Then I usually up the contrast and lower the brightness to really bring out a lot of intricacies. Then I just start messing with blurriness, color balance, inversions, and filters.
Thanks for the input! I love it all, good and bad.

Those are sweet...I really like the original one most. I'll have to try drawing sometime. It never really crossed my mind.

I wanted to draw the last time I tripped, but I ended up under a wonderful mountain of blankies travelling the universe. Seems like it might need to be a lower dose to work.
At least for me because an 1/8 immobilizes me basically. Generally that is.
