This is related to inspiration

How do I induce a "paranoiac critical" state? For those who might not know, it is a method used by Salvador Dali when he made some of his most famous works of art. From the state of mind of total paranoia and fear, was he able to hallucinate and conflate completely random and dissimilar objects into striking visuals.

Sounds made up. That said, drugs will probably do the trick.
>>
>>2546683
Dali said that he was able to get into this state without drugs.

I already have a bit of a process thought up, but I don't know if this is any good

What I plan to do is to put myself in pure darkness, either by doing this at night, or using a blindfold. I will then listen to only the most horrifying, spine chilling music, and I will try to let unpleasant and fearful thoughts take hold in my mind.

I am not exactly sure if this would give the same results, though, or if it would actually benefit my artistic process rather than being a major threat to my sanity.
>>
>>2546689
depends. can you draw like dali?
>>
>>2546691
hypothetically, yes

this is more about getting the spark of inspiration rather than asking about how to get better. I can only get better if I create, and I can only create if I have thunderous inspiration.

>I can only get better if I create, and I can only create if I have thunderous inspiration.

I believe this is wrong.

It's completely up to you how crucial inspiration is for you to create. There is no right or wrong.
