Least favorite part of drawing?

[vapidink]

But that comes down to style. If you're doing technical stuff, but you have a more sketchy style, then it's fine to be loose with the accuracy. The details kinda get lost in the bigger picture.

And yes, I dunno what these beings that can do both are, but they are definitely not human and they scare me.

When drawing a cliff face, I have a hard time trying to make it look realistic. I suppose that’s the hard part: trying to draw naturalistic scenery.

I suppose another thing I dislike about drawing is the depiction of realistically violent scenes. One would think that it would be best not to include them, but I personally think that I should. Too little of them, and you risk turning what you hoped what would be a serious, mature work, into a faerie story, where there’s no pain or suffering. Too much and you could attract attention from the wrong sources. That said, they are extremely hard to do convincingly and from a photograph reference.

Lighting. Like wtf is that I just cant

I second (third?) the technical stuff. My style is a bit on the messy side (and I shortcut a lot by using black to shadow over a lot of the details) so the part of detailing isn't as bad. The boring part for me is having to go find references of whatever technical thing I want to draw. The process is just tedious

Personally, I really dislike drawing cars, planes, tanks, ships and practically any other manned vehicle. Probably because I have next to zero practice with drawing those.

Defiantly feet and shoes idk why but its always something I struggle with so i'll crop out of the drawing most of the time or using something that covers it

Clip Studio closing for the 100th time while in the middle of working on an illustration.

It may be silly but, when I draw the second eye of my ocs, in a certain direction it seems that there is no symmetry.

thinking, anything with thinking

Backgrounds. It's always backgrounds for me. Even with my artist, she hates backgrounds too and wants to get a background artist lol.

[TheLemmaLlama]

Actually, same. The 'figuring stuff out' part when starting a drawing is always the hardest part >_< Out of what's actually part of my drawing process these days, this is probably my least favourite part :'D

How to make my character stand out! I just draw plain clothing and basic movement.

[Lensing]

I love it all, I´m not good at everything that comes before and after the penciling part but
pencils are my thing. I have the feeling of being able to draw everything I want and if I´m not
able then it´s a puzzle and there is a solution. So my least favorite parts are the ones that
I don´t understand yet or have not practiced enough. Coloring is one of it, I´m able to
destroy the most beautiful picture in seconds

I am one of the lucky ones, that loves to draw bg and all that stuff (although it uses sooo much time). I struggle most with actually bringing the story on paper... Like, in my brain it's all super awesome and everything but I still fear of messing everything up. Thumbnailing helped alot in that regard but it's a struggle to even start.

• Drawing people in the distance when they are hardly any details on them.
• When you're drawing a crowded scene and still feels empty
• Some hand gestures.
• Trying to doodle things that you are so tired that you cannot even draw your main character EVEN YOU KNOW HOW IT IS DONE!!!

[GingerLoge]

Rendering. I'd gladly stop at lineart.

[faisalhussein394]

Hands, they are not difficult, but they are not fun at all. I thought it's the background, but it can be fun.

[LXndra]

backgrounds.....backgrounds can suck a hard dick.

I often get most frustrated when I get to the end of a page, and have to try out new colors that are not working or colors on sound effects, shading, etc. When I have to go back and forth on trying colors or making other minor adjustments to things that aren't working, when if it was something I'd already done before and knew what to do I could do it instantly, it makes me feel like my time is being unproductively spent.

So, I've had to try to work on understanding that experimentation is also an important and necessary part of the process, but I still prefer the parts where I feel I'm working efficiently and making important progress, as opposed to what just feels like fiddling.
