For the last 5 and a half years, I haven’t slept like a functioning person. Post 11 pm, my brain begins firing the right way, and I must create, get drunk, or both. The creation bit usually yields a new song, a short story based off a recent dream, or a 5 minute drawing to be stuck on the wall and forgotten. In recent weeks, I’ve drawn nothing but self-portraits. I can’t be sure of any significant reason, other than the absence of another live subject. I’ll prop up a mirror, sit on the floor, and scrawl out some suggestion of my face. They all look like me, but often don’t make it past the first stages of completion. This one I did last night while blasted. So far It’s the best one I’ve got, and I think I’ll fix it up more sometime soon. In the meantime, here’s my unfinished drunken work, and unrefined drunken face. I’ll post more Dream Writing soon, once I get around to sifting through the 30+ entries in my notes app. Listen to The The.

Really good shading I usually overdo crosshatching and have to give up on including light when I draw. Out of curiosity, when I draw curves(I guess lines too) I generally make quarter of an inch overlapping pencil stokes until I make the shape I was wanting. Did you do something similar or are you able to draw what you had imagined without lifting your pencil?

If you drew that while drunk, I'm gonna be hella amazed what you are able to draw while sober. You're making the rest of us feel bad man..I can barely draw a stick figure while sober.

Perhaps cast a spell, throw it in the closet and hope for a Dorian Gray type situation

The lost love child of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Nice artwork, especially in such a short time and while drunk. Drunk me wouldn't be very good at drawing, but maybe writing something. I haven't made anything yet...

Nice face
-
I’m ashamed that you draw better drunk people than I do not 😂. Impressive work
-
Awesome work! I really like how you drew the loose hair around your face. It looks like it will move any moment.

Dang. Good job. 👍🏻

You’ve got quite the free hand skill, keep it up.

You look like a character from a post-apocalyptic game or film, specifically that edgy loner who knows a lot of crazy stuff.

Very nice shading

You definitely look like the kinda guy that would go by the name "Night Prince" on Discord.

Very nice. What do you do to make the shading lines so neatly arranged?

Nice shading
