Anyone else have weird habits when they draw or write?

[AffectedMind]

@Ogono, I talk to myself too sometimes X'D It helps me analyse the plot and see if everything is consistent. I don't know if it counts as a weird habbit, but usually I listen to music when I draw, then sing along and swing my booty :v

I unconsciously replicate the facial expressions of the characters I'm drawing.

Same.

[mariusthered]

yes I do that too, it gives you bad eye strain and damages your eyes ! my advice is try to break that habit

[ashriott]

I think like a lot of what others have already mentioned, I do the same expression my characters' are doing, especially when its an expression I really want to get down right. This only usually only happens for more "negative expressions" involving frowning, sad faces, uncertainty etc. If my characters are smiling, I usually don't smile xD

Another bad habit I get is the more I get into drawing, my face gets closer and closer to the paper. Though I think this may have to do with bad posture instead ^^;

I talk to myself ("and there woosh... voosh? uoosh... hm."), I bite my lips frequently, and bite my tongue that is a little bit out of my mouth while coloring something really hard.

That's me. (photo from the internet, but very representative of myself)

Also, looking very angry sometimes. (and the facial expression things while drawing)

Like everyone else, jeez, not feeling alone anymore!

I just space out...

For me it's lip-picking 8C

I can't help it but when ever I'm writing or working on something I have to constantly stand up and pace for a few minutes listening to music. I really don't like to sit in one place for to long, other wise my legs will start torture me for it. =_=

I definitely talk to myself when I'm working on scripts because I want to hear how the lines sound out loud. A lot of times when I'm driving alone, I'll just say variations of the same dialog over and over until I find the right one.

As for drawing, I used to stick my tongue out of the corner of my mouth, but when I started working in a studio setting I kind of got that under control because it was too silly.

If I'm trying to teach someone something and they're watching me draw, I make sound effects for what I'm doing.

[Kyosu]

I always pinch my left cheek or I scratch my belly when I draw!
I'm creepy =3=)

[danielnelson]

Like some of you I talk to myself as well, but it usually has nothing to do with the scene. It's usually me just spouting off about some memory I'm having or some conversation I'm planning to have in the future lol.

[allenthomas]

I almost always have to chew on a toothpick while I'm drawing. I'm not even sure when I developed this habit but I tend to lose focus very easily without it.

[DynamoToon]

Whenever I'm drawing or writing I stick my tongue out. Also, when I'm thinking I tend to chew on pencils, idk why I just do. It's either a pencil or anything I'm holding.

[Yuutayo]

I usually make the same expressions as I am drawing or imagining haha

[kazukitakamura126]

Whenever I draw I usually place my left foot on my right foot. When I really get in the zone I stay fixated on the screen I don't even notice if I blink. When I type on my keyboard i place my feet on the extruded part of my chair where the wheels are underneath.

[rosette]

hahah lol same here, that's why my girlfriend ask me why I'm sad. I'm not sad i'm just mimicking my character's facial expression unconsciously.

[Kura]

Read / act the script out complete with giving the characters their own voice and tones of voices.

Make the same face and gestures as my characters/

Repetitively make the sound effect noise /noises so I can figure out what to type for the stupid sound effect (did this while in hangout once forgetting to mute myself, everyone was very confused, then after I explained what I was doing they were very amused)

Lose that friggen tablet pen in the middle of using it. (also have a tendency of having spasms while drawing with very often result in my winging my pen into my face/eye/mouth)

[fishscribbles]

I tend to move my body in reaction to the scenes I'm writing. For example, if emotions are running high, I plant the ball of my left foot the floor, secure it with my right hell, and then my left knee shakes vigorously.
Also if I'm searching for words to write, my tongue tries to bury itself in my upper molars to the left. Maybe it thinks the words are in my teeth crevices.

When I draw traditional, I often stick out my tongue. Doesn't really happen when I draw digitally, though.

[avalonmao]

Yeah making facial gestures is a common one. I listen to TV while drawing my stuff xD

[bjornar]

I draw angry, frown and bark at people who come too close...
