For me it's trippy plant animal combos. Usually birds and sea life mixed with plants cuz I'm not great with mammals. I've posted some on my IG but I'll do more when I have more sketch book space lol.

Definitely I love drawing people the most. I mostly draw portraits but I like drawing fashion too, and I have sort of an eclectic funky taste in clothes that I put on all my characters, and there’s so many different styles I like so it’s fun to experiment with clothing styles.

I’m actually not very good at drawing animals that don’t look nightmarish (and not on purpose I just can’t not make a creepy looking animal) so it’s cool to see someone who actually enjoys drawing animals! Or a trippy take on a sea creature lol. It sounds cute tho, do you have any drawings to share of these creatures?

…
Men.

Ok- more like humanoids in general, but… men.

Oh yeah, drawing kids is also especially fun. Kids are so cute <3

@beebutterbee XD, I love drawing people and fashion too, but i'm not great at it. And yeah some of my animal pics:

A crab x lavender

an orca x hibsicus

a manta ray x ferns and another leaf I can't remember lol

lobster x a crocus

and just to break up the monotony here's a squirrel mixed with a plant that I again cannot remember the name of

I like drawing attractive dudes, but I really like drawing vehicles. Some of the earliest drawings that I've done were of my father's 1978 Dodge Ramcharger, and when I integrate cars into my story I tend to draw them with entirely too much detail. Even in my early, "Haven't quite figured out this art program" phase where shading and details were non-existent I put a lot of effort into my cars.

Here is the oldest drawing that I still have, a military truck from the WW2 era:

I had a series in the late 80's/early 90's called 4X4Play that was all about car culture:


Sometimes I drew vehicles that I fantasized about (my dream car is still a 1949 Mercury):

Sometimes I just drew something for fun:

In my more modern era I drew vehicles that I've owned that were described in Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days (the art sucks because I still didn't know how to use Krita):

This was my father teaching me to drive in his 1987 Nissan Pathfinder. I was fifteen years old.

This was me buying my first car, a clapped-out, rusted up 1978 Trans Am that I named Bertha. The car was a piece of junk, but my God how I loved her.

Bertha would not be my last Pontiac Firebird. My second car was a 1980 Firebird Formula. This is a pic I drew of it many years ago, and had stuck to my bedroom wall. Fun fact: That blue "frame" is real pinstriping from the actual car:

And here is that same car drawn many years later for WNHCD:

The 1988 Cougar I had when I met my first real boyfriend. That boyfriend almost didn't happen after he revealed a huge lie to me the second night we'd met. This image shows me driving away from him in anger:

The customized '96 Cherokee that I had later on in the story (Note that by now the art is improving):

And the heavily modified 1988 Thunderbird that I had at the end of Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days. This image depicts me coming out to my father.

Finding Daecon's way is not about vehicles at all - in fact the shapeshifters generally shun human transportation technology, but still, the story opens with a car chase (Daecon, in his Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS is being chased by a bunch of homophobic hillbillies in their jacked-up Ram 3500 "Brodozer" truck):

...which is how Daecon ended up being forced over a cliff. This life-or-death situation resulted in him discovering that he is a shapeshifter (this was actually the very first time I ever drew Daecon. He's changed a lot since then):

That was it for the vehicles until Dionysius was introduced. His pride and joy was his 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited, which he and Daecon restored to like new condition:

Later in the story Daecon would have to move the Wagoneer into the Shapeshifter colony. Since Shapeshifters do not use vehicles they don't have roads, which made this a challenge. Thanks to the brains of Arthur they settled on using a helium balloon to airlift it into the colony. Daecon is shown here guiding it in (the balloon is doing most of the lifting, Daecon is steering it)

So, yeah... I like vehicles!

the sheer amount of vehicles lol. I basically never draw them, though i'm going to have to learn to at some point, so I may have to @ you when I do XDDD

Do you...
Do you even need to ask? XD

But seriously, I sill love to draw my chicken OCs -- Friar and Bucky specifically. Their designs are simple, easily recognizable, and just fun to draw.

I really like drawing aliens because as long as I'm consistent there's no such thing as incorrect anatomy :)>

I discovered something like that the other day while drawing coral: No matter how weird you get, you can't get weirder than real coral

I started off with characters as my favorite thing to draw.

But now I kinda just love making entire scenes, like characters and backgrounds. I guess that's why I love making comics so much haha.

really. I want to get into backgrounds but i'm not a fan of them rn. maybe just cuz i'm not good at them lol

Oh same here, I wasn't into them at all either. For a long time I only drew characters on a blank white canvas. Reading some books on perspective is what got me into it.

I should definitely do that next time I live near a library XD

  • Female characters especially potentially leads

  • Action scenes, fight scenes

  • Villains!!!!!

Characters! Mostly sketching because then I don't have to be as meticulous. And I like the rough, sketchy look.

Digital painting is also fun because I also don't have to worry about making neat lines, even if it takes a little more time. It also makes coloring a lot easier.

lol, i like drawing kisses and hugs too, but they take me forever

My own characters usually are because I'm attached, unless I'm working on their initial concept, but drawing others' characters isn't always fun. It depends on the design and whether it's appealing.

I had 2 old webcomics before that I deleted on a different site. One of them might surface or reworked but now, I'm solely focused on "Lyza's Sandstorm".

Hair! Especially when I get to draw it in fun dynamic poses. There's something very satisfying about it.


I like exaggerated facials expressions

And another thing that I like, which most people don´t like, is drawing backgrounds

well that's fair enough I suppose, but whether drawing anything is fun always depends on design and appeal

@AmysGames

OOOOH I love drawing hair too. all different textures and hairstyles.

I love to draw Horror.
Vampire Skull using graphite on paper, college 2002.
I have others more recently but its more M rated and this is a G rated forum.

I like drawing weird animal combos, so though I haven't tried a gryphon in years, I could easily see that. and I love drawing clothes too
