Empirical evidence of dreamworld

I woke one night, but inside a dream. It is called lucid dreaming and i decided to collect some empirical evidense about dreaming on general:

1- Electrical equipment changes their outward appearance as you look away, number of buttons and layout changes. Information on digital displays are absurd, numbers change all the time or it looks like klingon on crack.

2- Everything looks as real and believable as here, but it is more colourful somehow, more contrast and the light and shadows do not follow laws of physics. The amount of detail is astonishing, but in changes also a littlebit every time. Confusing but fun.

3-Dream tries to hijack your consciousness all the time back into dreaming, beware of this or you do not stay lucid trought the dream. It feels like you start thinking something and next thing you are following the dream again and acting everything as it would be real.

4-People are weird, you might meet your friends in a dream but they feel like clones or fake images, they do things different way they would do in real life and usually feels sinister... It might be me also.

5- Fly! It is best there is if you are lucid, it is like this: you jump in the air and do not fall, you feel the pull of gravity but you can steer against it. Sometimes this works better and you can get miles high, sometimes you just glide your way trought treetops. Fucking awesome!

(asking anything or getting some information is practically impossible, either way the dream takes different turn and you forget it all or answer mutates into something unrecognisable)

(I asked in a dream from my military superior: How many days i have left of service? Answer: It is a lovely day!)

(Now i will tell you a secret, i learning to draw humans in order to draw something else better. Humans are important byproduct of this, important but still a byproduct. When i will be able to draw humans quite "good" and fast, think how that skill of posture, balance, speed and sheer drawing mechanism will transfer itself into other subjects...)

Just remember that a lot of people can draw humans, but almost nobody can draw sexy giraffes and drunk fish @_@

well, it does happen to me that i draw an insane amount of poses, but my hand never hruts. ive been playing drums since almost 12 years, so my wrists are... pretty strong, lol, and i always try to draw from the arm and elbow, because otherwise it could be harmful for the hand.
check out yoitisi's island in the mentoring section, he's got some awesome line exercises there, for strengthening the hand and eye and stuff like that.

yeah, i am. Nettle_mountain is my name over there. I just drawed 120 30s poses from posemaniac, really addicting stuff but my hand aches.

Does this ever happend to you?

hi there yourself, these days in a man with a mission so you don't see me here for a while, maybe never again!!! (dramatic music)

I'm learning to draw humans at CA, extremely hard stuff but i take the long view on this project, like 1-3 years to accomplish.

Well cut the long story into long story:

-Scan them 300dp

-Make sure you have photoshop

-Use following functions for retouching colours: Saturation, levels, contrast, selective colour, channel mixer.

-You learn to use these by success and error, put preview on when you are using these (from down left corner) and see how your images change

-If you wannabe real pro, you use curves, but it needs practise. Scourge for some tutorial

-That's all, ask more if you need

Kräääh! great watermelon six aclock!
~yumi:iconyumi: Dec 12, 2007, 11:26:22 AM
How do you get your water colours to look so good in the computer? Do you scan them? I've been photographing mine and they end up so dingy . . .

Love your stuff, btw, it's an inspiration.
