Yep, you probably have a slight astigmatism. Every time I switch from my contacts to glasses back and forth (if I've been only wearing one for a prolonged period) I get a similar effect. The lens IS bending light. Your brain should get used to it within a couple of weeks.

I assume your brain is still trying to make sense of non focused points of light but it's now getting a single focused point of light and needs a slight adjustment period. Honestly I've put on my contacts after months of glasses and sidestepped off of a curb because I thought the ground was closer!

Just give it a bit of time and try not to get too frustrated. If it continues longer than say three weeks you may want to get a prescription done by a second doctor just in case they were slightly off. Don't worry, you're normal! Everything is fine!

Okay thanks, that's reassuring. It's just a bit scary when you put on these glasses and ten days later things are still wobbly. I'll see if I get used to it. In the meantime I'm just going to avoid drawing architecture. :v:

I finally finished my still life.



It had started raining about fifteen minutes in so did a lot of this from imagination, or by using a crummy pic and other flowers as references. The shading was the hardest part and now that I look at it, I think I should have darkened the two big flowers, or at least the top one. I'm happy with it otherwise. And happy I'm done. On to new flowers!

T'was a dark and stormy night, and that fucker stole my apples again! I love this one, the atmosphere really makss it.

Re: astigmatism I have the same problem, when I change glasses my eyes take a week or so to adjust. Definitely normal, total pain in the butt.

Hey this has been in the back of my mind, but the past few weeks have been too stressful and demanding to shut out and art. In the past three weeks I've moved halfway across America and helped a goon set up this website.

The last week of August will take me away from my computer, so I am pretty sure I will miss this one. I have some ideas about robot design that I'd like to put down, and they're related to a very important thing, so I'll do them as soon as I can. But they'll have to go in another thread.

My Wacom is too flaky to use, so doing pencil stuff at home. I later ruined both of these with marker.

I assume she's wearing tights or something, but some other lines indicating pants might not be a bad idea.

Trying to put my recent figure drawing sessions to good use by trying out some weird poses from imagination. Still got a long ways to go but I think I'm slowly managing to make my figures less stiff.

After 10 years of stuffing around and being way too lazy with art I have finally found some motivation to be productive. Been trying to draw or paint every day and have gone close to doing that for the last week and a bit.

This one is based on a rough sketch I did a few days ago, picked up a canvas board today and smashed this out in around 6 or 7 hours. Still getting the hang of acrylics but learning every time I use them. (Sorry for the giant image I am posting from my phone)
