Anyone else have weird habits when they draw or write?

[OgonoArtFamily]

When I'm in the zone, I tend to bite-down on my tongue unconsciously. Then, I started to notice, whenever I bite my tongue. I get excited and It puts me into total focus mode. So, I now label this as "Biting out my creative juices" (this is probably unhealthy lol). Also, when I'm writing I not only bite my tongue...but I talk to myself (I'm reading this out-load as I'm writing this). It helps me get into the zone to block-out all distractions knowing that I'm pulling my full attention on to whatever I'm doing xD

Whenever I draw or write scripts I tend to breath heavy. My roommate notices whenever I do this but I don't because I also have my earbuds in with the music blaring.

[mg78]

i do strange mouth expression... plus if i draw some "action" scenes, i do the sound (like sound of explosion, wind, crash and so on XD )

[zoonland]

Sometimes I do the same facial expression I am drawing to my characters, and I often start talking alone, to myself or to the page

[OgonoArtFamily]

Lol, I used to do that !

[pandymeez]

I usually make weird facial expressions or when I'm really into what I'm doing and not drawing a face, I just glare hard at what I'm drawing. XD I lean forward and glare and I don't notice until I'm out of the zone. But if I'm listening to a podcast or something while drawing, I've noticed that I laugh and talk as if I'm talking to whoever's speaking in the podcast. XD

when I write talking scenes I talk them aloud so its a good job I live alone because I probably could be mistaken for a schizophrenic, especially when i'm writing a scene with arguments

[rainbowolfe]

I don't understand why but whenever I'm really in the zone while drawing, I cover my mouth XD it's the weirdest thing

[APM]

I make weird facial expressions while drawing, like trying to reproduce my character's feelings (If I'm drawing a girl crying, I'm problably dying in my tears).

Yeah, I think is just that. While I write too. I always looks to feel my character's feelings, I think it's because they're all are a part of me.

[BraveHeartTatsumaki]

When I'm drawing expressions, I tend to make the expresions with myself, and I tend to talk alone my own jokes or other stuff for the comic and reply to myself (of course none answers except... me? xD)

[dracoplato]

If I'm really into it I'll start saying the dialogue out loud. I tend to feel what the characters are feeling too so it can cause me to get teary eyed or make character based expressions. Those are more for writing tho, I always feel pretty emotionally detached when it's the drawing portion. Probably because it takes so long to finish anything XD

[TAMAnnoying]

Yep thats exactly what i do, it gets me in trouble cause whenever im doing a super serious expression or angry expression people walk by and see me and ask if theres something wrong X'D

[insomniascrawl]

I make whatever expression that I'm trying to draw. Get's pretty weird in public.

[jacintawibowo]

Haha yes I talk to myself too! I also speak and sing in my characters voices XD it's funny to me, and that keeps me "awake" and on track of my work =P

[Wishjacked]

I talk to myself, I sing to myself, I talk and sing to anybody in my vicinity, I chew on a pen. Not my tablet pen, a separate pen that I pick up entirely for the purpose of chewing on it. And it isn't really a habit, but when I get really into the art I drool everywhere, which is just another reason that I don't draw and hang out with friends at the same time.

[Thesleepypencil]

If thinking of or planning diolouge i'll catch myself making the facial expressions and actually mouthing the words, which isn't good because 90% of the time i'm in public.

when i'm drawing and in the zone i stick my tongue out a little. i didn't even know i did that till my brother pointed it out once

[rosette]

scatch my balls as I draw??? but it's delightful!!!!

[OgonoArtFamily]

Interesting....

[monotone_ink]

I start squatting on my spinny chair, L style.
And like most people here, I unconsciously replicate the facial expressions of the characters I'm drawing.

[laneord]

Not sure if this is considered, but when I write or draw something I notice I'm constantly drawn nearer and nearer to the screen. It usually happens when I'm focused and then when I snapped out of it, I'm like few inches away or something from the monitor..
