Posted August 18, 201411 yr Like I'm only really good at it when I give a shit but usually i just draw because it makes me feel less stressed for whatever reason or if im bored. I just like doing little doodles in these situations really. Makes me just give much less of a shit and i get less anxious and stressed I guess. What about you guys?

August 18, 201411 yr Yeah, that is how my Sora chibi was made. I do more doodling then actual sketches anymore.
August 18, 201411 yr I draw houses when I'm upset. Somehow, a solid structure of a house seems like a calming metaphor for structured life, or it could just be dormer windows are fun to sketch, but I have a ton of house pics in my notebooks.
August 18, 201411 yr Author Yeah I do sometimes but not as much as I used to. Yeah I don't as much as I used to either
August 18, 201411 yr Drawing doesn't relax me, I mean it does but not drastically. Drawing actually stressed me out because I want to be a concept artist.I draw because I want to create characters, monsters and worlds and to become a concept artist like Tersuya Nomura. I do feel happy and proud when whatever I draw comes out great.What really makes me relaxed is playing video games.
August 18, 201411 yr It does but at the same time it doesn't. If I'm not focusing and allow myself to go off into another world, I'm stress free. When I want something I draw to turn out really good or it's a gift for someone I start stressing out because I want it to look good.
August 18, 201411 yr Drawing is like the one time I don't feel like sticking my hand into the core of the earth and crush it.
August 18, 201411 yr I draw most of my free time. But it's a instinct to draw when I'm upset. I let the anger out on the paper and ink and it relaxes me afterwards.
August 18, 201411 yr Same here, I like drawing keyblades in such situations and it makes me feel better.
August 18, 201411 yr If I feel a particularly strong idea driven by an emotion, I'll wear myself out putting it down on paper, so yeah.
August 18, 201411 yr Sometimes it seems like I draw the best when I'm not supposed to be....Particularly, when I was in school. I guess that may be because I felt really out of place/ out of my element in school, so drawing made me feel much better. Nowadays, my method hasn't changed much.....it's okay to sit down and draw, but I still think I do much better when I'm not actually supposed to be doing it. (Like if I should be cleaning instead, lol.) Life might get weird, but my sketchbook will always be on point, son!
August 18, 201411 yr It's relaxing when I'm doodling in the margins of my notes during school, but in any other situation I actually get kinda stressed out. I'm pretty critical of my work, so I just get frustrated that I can't do better.
August 18, 201411 yr Sometimes, but it doesn't really make me relaxed. Depends on how I'm feeling though.. : D
