Any weird art quirks you do?

[fleohr]

Talking like my OC's lol, and making shitty dialogues with them

[LordVincent]

Ugh i do the head tilt too it's awful!

[DiegoPalacios]

Some of the things i do:

-Walking around while thinking about ideas and some "mini breaks" where i walk around too.

-Sometimes laughting at some of the ideas i get (and then writing them.)

-Doing the facial expressions of the characters i`m drawing

-When i was younger i didn`t liked when people were watching me draw.

• I assigned the "flip canvas" shortcut to the letter "H' on my keyboard, so whenever I'm drawing I spam H like a madwoman to find any mistakes in my drawings. Sometimes I'll be browsing the internet and spam H suddenly out of habit.

• Whenever I'm drawing faces, I always start by drawing a really loose circle. It's not even supposed to be a guideline or skeleton for drawing the face, I just do it out habit.
  

• I like whacking my pencil on the table when I'm drawing... And broke several mechanical pencils in the process :C

When I'm drawing (or sometimes writings) some expression, my face would subconsciously make the same expression.

[KoreanTacos]

I see goofy faces is a common thing none of us have control over XD

[DiegoPalacios]

maybe is an unconscious attempt at giving the characters the emotions we project?

[Rhonder]

I don't do the face thing too much, but I frequently find myself accidentally making sound effects while I draw xD;; Lots of "Pshhh", "shooo", "Krrrrr", "woosh", etc. Not all the time, mostly in active scenes where said SFX would be appropriate, but yeah lmao.

When doing digital art: trying to look at the computer screen from different angles as if I'm going to get a better look at my flat screen.

I also tend to mimic the expression of whatever character I'm drawing. Pretty common, apparently.

I never listen to songs with different moods while working on a single piece of artwork. It ends up making me feel like I want to take the art in different directions at different times.

If writing or doodling on office paper, I always fold it in half.

Sometimes I use sketchbooks and notebooks from right to left. Sometimes I start from one side and then later start from the other side in the same one. It's almost like having two books until they meet in the middle.

If I'm listening to a song while coloring my drawing, my strokes will move in rhythm with the music.

[lil-sea-salt]

I thought that was only me. I'm so glad others do it too.

[VibrantFox]

i almost always mimic the facial expression i'm drawing, unless i'm out in public though when i slip it always garners a few odd faces or laughs.

while i don't have much of a death grip on my stylus he nibs still wear down due to heat (i guess) so i'm always turning the pen in my hand till it moves more comfortably

i not only have the habit of staring at people often, though i've gotten a better handle on it. but after i worked retail for a couple years i would always look at outfits (clothes and especially shoes) and try to memorize them for drawing ideas. even now i've still got a habit of my eyes drifting to a persons shoes if they look interesting or nice which has made for a few awkward encounters

I pick up quirks from habits that my characters have. I had a character in an rp who said the two C words, Cur and not Cur, and those wiggled heavily into my vocabulary. I started clicking my thumb nail against my middle finger nail when I was stressed, and that was a quirk I gave to my current main character. So I kind of adopt the things my characters do in my writing.
Also, not when writing, but going into the process, (These are really weird!) I stare at my face in the mirror for about an hour sometimes, trying to absorb every detail, and I also touch different parts of my body when I'm thinking of character creation. It helps me understand exactly how I want them to look, and I imagine every single piece of their body that I can. But I think this arises from a desire I have with learning to sculpt or 3D model characters. So maybe I should just learn that. Bt I don't know if my quirks will stop or get worse that way. xD

(Now that everyone knows too much about me, I'll stop talking.)

I did this as a kid with racing games. But when I replayed them, I haven't done it. However, I tried a new racing game at my friends house a couple weeks back and caught myself turning my head while drifting again...

[NiKons]

I luuuuuuuv drawing eyes. So I constantly stare everyone deep into their eyes. Def creeped out most people with whom I come into contact!~

[awesomefeelsman]

I look at people's art so much that it makes them feel uncomfortable. I'd stand there analyzing their technique and style that I'd look like a creep going back and forth to their stalls because I'm constantly studying their art and looking at others too.
What makes them feel uncomfortable is my facial expressions sometimes. I've drawn facial expressions so much that I unconciously mimic their faces. So if I see a drawing with the character smiling, I try imitating that smile on my face. If the character shows their teeth, I do that but only for a split second. I've got it under control enough so it would appear subtle and unnoticed but at times I just do it longer than usual. Which... makes for awkward exchanges of looks from artists XD

[A-weird-girler]

think of a pose and then immediately start thinking of it in an nsfw setting. I can't be the only one! The thing is, I'm not even into drawing that sort of stuff....so whyyyy????

[droidmonkey1]

For me it's like in the matrix, when Neo start's seeing everything in code. people becomes shapes and action lines like a live sketch drawings. sometimes I see every thing like a cartoon.

[rmdooley]

Not only do I make similar faces as to the ones I am drawing, sometimes there is the bonus of over the top sound effects as well

I can't draw in public
