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

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

I can't believe I forgot to mention hair. As a certain Kev has aptly noted, I have a fascination with hair



All of these but one is my character. Can anybody guess which?

Animals and Plant combos, and also Human x plant combos:

For me, it's creatures!!
Something about creatures fills me with endless fascination. Like, you can LITERALLY design your own species! How cool is that????? When drawing, I often bounce back and forth between more "normal" creatures and super wacky weird ones.

You can find all my art here!!:

Cool! I wanna get better at drawing backgrounds. They're so underrated. Backgrounds can give life to a drawing!

I love drawing characters wearing the classical wizard outfit (pointy hats, robes with stars and moons)

This is the Plot Hole wizard from the comic Lauren Ipsum

So in keeping with my post above about liking to draw vehicles, this morning I saw a poor photoshop or AI rendering of what a 1972 Buick Riviera 4-door would look like and it bugged me.

Now, as a bit of an explainer, the early 1970's Buick Riviera was to me one of the most beautiful cars made since the 1950's. It was a large two-door luxury car, a "Personal Luxury Coupe" as the segment was called back in the day, and it only existed to look good. Cars in this segment include the Ford Thunderbird, Lincoln Mark III/IV/V, Chevy Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Toronado, Cadillac El Dorado, and even such imports as the Mercedes 280 SEC and BMW 635CSi. They were not meant to be fast or practical, they were built for style and luxury, and the Riviera, with its unique "Boat Tail" design (a callback to 1930's Auburn Speedsters and Cord Boat Tail") was the best looking of the lot, in my opinion. They were large and in charge.

So here is what a stock 1972 Riviera would look like. This angle showcases the "boat tail" look.

Now, for the most part, these Personal Luxury Coupes did not have four-door versions. Family practicality was generally left to the more mainstream LTD's, Impalas, Coronets, Furys, and in the case of luxury marques, the Continental, Town Car, Fleetwood, and Imperial (though these cars all had two door versions too, but they were never as stylish as the dedicated coupes).

Somebody, somewhere, decided to either photoshop or get AI to create a four-door version of the Riviera, and this is the image that set me off. This rendering, in my opinion, is an absolute mess. The roof line is terrible, the back end is just weird, and I don't even know where to begin with that rear window, other than to say it is just plain wrong. If you look closely at it, it couldn't even work on a car. Here it is:

I will admit it freely: I could not use photoshop to save my life. I have never used the program, and would never claim to be able to manipulate a photograph. But though I can't use Photoshop, I can draw. And so I decided I needed to right this wrong. If Buick were to make a four door version of their most stylish car they would have tried to preserve that style, and so that's how I envisioned this "Crew Cab" Riviera:

I can't draw cars at all, so I may have to message you when I decide to learn to draw them lol. I know absetively nothing about cars whatsoever. It makes writing my books tricky since most of my characters drive and I don't even do that XD

Forgot to mention like, chunky chicks.

I've drawn my FL from "Damsel in the Red Dress" so many times. I'm starting to get used to drawing the FL from "A Dozen Morning Glories" too, but a moment of my little collection of Alicia fashion pics.

Oh right, she gained weight. Above is her at the beginning of the story. It's cannon that she's growing squishier.

guess it's a good thing your leads is a wind paladin then

I used to draw a lot of humans, but changed to animals a while back. My favorite thing to draw honestly has to be magic, regardless of subject matter. I love all things that shine, and almost all of my story ideas have some form of magic-adjacent concept.

Monsters. All monsters, all the time. The weirder and less human the better.
I love drawing animals too, but drawing monsters really allows me to have fun and play around.


I can see that, I like drawing monsters, but I'm bad at drawing designs that seem to work all together with each other lol

My favorite things to draw are my OCs. :smile_01: Iris and Zayzann are my favorites to draw, even though wings and her hair are hard for me. :cry_02: Khazmine and Byxx are equally fun to draw, especially with their range of expressions and physicality. I haven't had much time to draw them in the last few months, as I'm still writing the main story, but will gladly put together a few pieces for milestones as time permits.

Pictured here: Iris, Zayzann, Khazmine, and Byxx :heart_03:

People, like characters specifically. Faces, bodies, pose, clothing, that sort of thing.

Cute face shapes. I got to do a couple of different ones with "Sketchy Business"


I like exploring historical fashion for women. I draw these, thinking about the fabrics and how they lay, how they'd look in movement based on their layers, etc.

Monsters, I love drawing monsters.
The less human (or real life animal,) The better
