A little over a year ago I started "doing" psychedelics. I had tried some psychedelica before, but it wasn't until one particular trip that I started doing psychedelics as frequently as I do right now.
I wrote a lot more then I expected, so feel free to skip the text and just look at the drawings.
I don't fully want to go into why, though I may later. It may be difficult to believe, but before then, there were a lot of things wrong with me, both physically and mentally. To keep it short, I was incredibly chaotic, lethargic and unaware of what happened around me. Physically, though I was already 20, I had no facial hair, underdeveloped secondary characteristics and more.
I started doing psychedelics right after forementioned trip, because it seemed to solve what was wrong with me. It seemed like I was mentally and physically stuck and constipated. After I did lsd it felt like things started to flow. From then I was full of energy. I could concentrate for the first time in my entire school time, my mind was much clearer and I could process my thoughts and emotions (previously I would often get stuck on some disturbing thought, or get irritated by somebody and feel frustrated until I smoked weed). Not only that, some of my physical problems were gone too! I used to have peeling lips all year around, they would always become irritated and the skin around my lips would turn reddish. Completely gone. The day of the trip I got my first beardhairs. One other thing was a scar that wouldn't heal (it had been there for 3 months) and was now barely visible.
After the trip I was basically high on acid for 2 weeks until I started becoming very tired, yet not being able to sleep. I did acid again and I could sleep once more. And so started a long period of doing acid.
Since then I basically went through puberty. Though I am sure hormones weren't the only problem, but that is another story
. I really didn't think it would take me this long to get to the point, but alas. With the mental development came a development in my creative abilities also, which is why I pretty much wrote this and I really could have skipped the huge essay back there.. Especially under the influence of psychedelic drugs, but now also sober, drawing comes naturally to me (colouring not so much). I have wanted to post my drawings to this site for a while now and I will upload some now. The explanation comes with the drawings.
This was drawn during that trip, this way I also drew afterwards.
Some time later, I started becoming more chaotic like before, but I still had a lot of energy, so I could still create patterns.
The following drawings were made in the same time frame.
(drawn sober)
(drawn on acid) Much later I noticed how the patterns on the right side resembles flames
(drawn on acid) I slowly managed to work the patterns into less chaotic drawings. During this and later acid trips, I could draw certain natural phenomena naturally. I wouldn't have much of an understanding of anatomy sober when this was drawn, but some of the characters here are anatomically correct. on the lower right is a tree branch, it was drawn very fast, my hand shakes a lot and creates certain patterns normally, drawing this branch was very automatic.
(drawn sober)
drawn on acid, I drew this to resemble flames, but I didn't have much time, so it's mostly clear on the left. This was the first time that lines started appearing while drawing, I could let my hand trace the lines without much effort. If I had drawn the fire outside of the face more extensively, it would have actually looked like fire.
Right now, even sober, I can instinctively draw geometric shapes and anatomically correctly, I have much more control when drawing than I used to. In all the drawings that follow and precede, except for self portraits, all faces are made up. I also wanted to talk about how dmt affects my drawing. I rarely draw bodies, I mostly like drawing faces. I did dmt once and drew the body besides the face for once and it came very naturally. As if I subconsciously understood how anatomy works. I am a little disappointed in what I've written so far and have a lot more to share, but It's 3 a.m. where I live and I don't want to write any longer. The following drawings are not completely chonological.

(drawn on acid) at this time I couldn't draw clothes this well, sober. Nor could I draw stewie like this.
