I forgot to -blank- because I was drawing

[Wolven_Sister]

^ pretty much on board with @pastchaser.

OH! I forgot to socialize because I was drawing.

[DynamoToon]

I forgot to to draw because i was drawing.

I forgot to eat because I was drawing...
I actually fainted from that but it was only one time so far.

I forgot to sleep because I was drawing...
One time I started a drawing an illustration around 10 pm and finished at 6 am, didn't even notice until I looked at the clock...Oops!

[AnnaLandin]

Well, I've forgotten to eat on multiple occasions. My favourite one being that one time in college, when I'd been deadline-crunching on one of several comics for school, when I looked up from my drawing, wondering why on EARTH everything I drew turned out so badly - only to realise that it was 1 AM, and that I hadn't eaten since breakfast.

I ate scrambled eggs straight out of the pan, too hungry to bother with a plate.

See also: not sleeping, not going outside for days, still wearing pjs at 10 PM.

[pandymeez]

Goodness, where to start? xD
Since I can say I've forgotten to do many of the things that other people have said, here's an example:

I had to get ready for my own party once but walked into a room, forgot what I was there for and then started drawing, completely forgetting I had people arriving in a little over an hour. I was still frantically finishing getting myself ready when guests had started to arrive and had to call my friend to help me. > _ >;;

Haha! Good topic.

I've forgotten to...

-Eat and/or swallow (frequently sit there with a gulp of something in my mouth, like a pro)
-Finish making my coffee
-Drink the coffee that I made 8'(
-Shower
-Put out the bins
-Text someone back
-Call someone back
-Put the music back on when the playlist runs out
-Hold a conversation I started (so rude)
-Close the curtains

And many many more.

-Drink the coffee that I made 8'(

Oh, this reminds me - I cannot COUNT the number of times I've forgotten to drink my tea. Sometimes I leave it on the kitchen counter, growing cold with the tea-infuser still in it - sometimes it makes it all the way to my drawing space, and gets cold before I drink it. On one memorable occasion, I found a cup of cold tea sitting on my desk the morning after I'd been drawing. I'm just lucky I don't knock them over more often than I do.

When you live in a coffee cup forest like I do (because they seem to breed around me) you learn to get up and walk away very, very carefully...unless you forget.

Unlike some of the posters here, I can never forget to eat when I draw. I just get hungry and distracted and won't be able to continue D:

However I will be gross and say I have forgotten to do my laundry several times due to drawing. I sometimes have things soaking in the wash in the morning, and then start drawing, and then it's like 10pm at night and I'm like oh shit I forgot to do the laundry. Such is life.

[paigelavoie]

I'm with you all on the forgetting to eat thing. I've also forgotten to call people back, do laundry, and put my phone on the charger o.O

[Dranif]

I forgot to exist because I was drawing.
Haha, just kidding.

But I have forgotten to check the time, get something to drink, eat, do homework, tend to chores, and work on other projects, because I was drawing.

[Kecreed]

Glad I'm not the only one here forgetting to eat.

I keep forgetting to take breaks because I was drawing.
Also new one for me is I forgot to put pants on a character because I was drawing something else. Ooops. Good thing I caught that.

[zelkats]

I forgot to attach laser beams on my school of mutated sea bass because I was drawing.

[Vikiro_Hop]

I forgot to send them the antidote because I was drawing.

[purrlpankras]

I forgot to...
Go outside,
Drink some water,
Sleep,
breathe

[Luie]

I forgot to draw because I was blanking today.

[fishscribbles]

I have a problem..
I keep leaving large pots of boiling water on the stove and totally forget about them. Like once, I was boiling some eggs and when I remembered them the water was gone, the shells were scorched and the yolks had become so hot that water was sizzling off it.
These instances usually occur when I'm doing digital art

I don't forget to do things, I just choose not to do them! Do the dishes that have been piling up for days and have begun to grow fuzzy green stuff? Nah, let's draw. Cook something? Nah, let's eat cornflakes and draw. Put away my clothes? Nah, it's easier if the whole frigging wardrobe is left outside on a chair, let's watch cat videos.

[MostlyButts]

I forgot to go to school once because I was drawing so much! /(u.u)\

[60Six]

I forgot to play video games because I was drawing...which normally sounds like it should be the other way around, but I have a job interview at this game studio so I need to catch up on their games before the interview!
