Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Simple question, wondering what other artists listen while drawing.

Nah let's be serious, I listen to songs of indonesian bands and some vocaloid story-songs.

Well, at the moment this. Music of Higurashi, it just keeps looping. Not that I notice the music when drawing but I do notice silence

If I'm drawing for my visual novel, then I listen to the BGM I use in my visual novel.
That helps to put me in work mode.

Well, I like up beat music, a really catchy tune I can listen over and over on Autoplay. It helps me speed the process a bit faster and gets me less distracted lol. I'm still looking for new catchy songs for my playlist OTL.

I tend to listen to whatever song I'm currently obsessed about. Be it Vocaloid, an Utaite, or some rock band.
All of em's good.

Trance from Digitally Imported radio, instrumental music, or some of Key's OST soundtracks (Air's OST is pretty nice.).

Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
It depends, really. Most of the time I'm okay with putting my fav radio, which is pretty eclectic in its choice of music.
Sometimes I listen to Homestuck music at http://homestuck.bandcamp.com and some other times I look for VN OSTs on Youtube to get in the mood (:

When drawing something, anything, USE REFERENCES!! Use your Google-fu!
Don't trust your memory, and don't blindly trust what others teach you either.
Research, observation, analysis, experimentation and practice are the key! (:

Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Rock songs. The loud ones, like Rammstein. And I'm in headphones. It helps me to focus myself to what I'm doing. Prog rock works too, like Pink Floyd. The latter's more in the calming mood.
I usually pick my music in its similarities to my work; like if I draw for S&H I pick depressing piano tunes.
If that doesn't work I crank up Touhou themes and/or arranges and get to it. For some reason, they're so varied I feel pumped up and inspired when I hear them. Once again I pick arranges depending on the mood. But if I'm in the I'm-in-hyper-drawing mode, anything goes.

Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Either DVDs or soundtracks. I don't like a lot of vocal based music because I find it distracting and exhausting. Soundtracks have good emotional bases and DVDs are made up of music and people speaking, so I enjoy the sound of it and it helps me focus.

I prefer total silent when working on something, unless I am in a bad mood and need some enlightenment.

Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Depends what I'm working on, but usually video game soundtracks.
Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Something that doesn't annoy me, which means no rock/metal. Usually I have the radio on smooth jazz or trance. Right now I'm working with my collection of Capsule's discography though, which is electronica-ish C:
Re: Artists, what do you listen while drawing?
Nothing, I usually draw in silence beacause I get too easily distracted by things, including music...OTL
