What do you normally listen to when you write/draw?

[hakei]

when I'm writing for an episode, listening to a music that fits the mood is a great motivator and brainstormer.
When I'm drawing though, I usually have on a youtube let's player so I can be entertained

[LadyLily]

Either silence or rain/thunderstorms.

I sometimes listened to music but I mostly opened YouTube and look for whatever long video that interest me. Lately I've been into icebergs, but my interest range is pretty wide. I did this not only for drawing for for other things that doesn't really required my brain to focus on what was in my hand.

For writing, I sometimes opened music but it usually ended up being a background sound I forgotten existed or just silence because they ended up distracting me.

post rock usually, sometimes jazz. Right now, I like to listen to albums from the youtube channel, In The Woods.

An example:

[Kann]

Music. Always. I mostly listen to different kinds of rock and metal mixed with videogame OSTs. I might even be stuck for hours on listening to one song, because it's perfect for what I'm actually drawing. xD

[memologue]

Mostly podcasts when I’m drawing but when it comes to thinking of dialogue I prefer to listen to osts (anime, drama) or piano covers, as long as it doesn’t have lyrics :’)

[fleurravenbooks]

I have few playlist with songs i listen to when i'm writing whole plot , and ones with songs connected to characters

[DemureGirl]

I watch let's plays or listen to music. Recently I've found that Bardcore stuff really sets the mood

[nostalgicroxas]

Lyricfree music such as OST's, BGMs from video games or movies, or just normal classical.

[Black_Conscious]

85% Music 10% Random videos and 5% intellectual Conversations

(Cough,cough* I totally forgotten about the Silence.... uhh we just gonna add that somewhere in between Random Videos and the 5%- .. )

Usually I listen to music, and occasionally radio dramas, and historical videos. If I happen to find a good book to listen to, I will also listen those. I listen to a-lot of movie soundtracks, pop, rock, country, synth-ambient, as well as orchestra music. So I have a pretty wide variety to pick from, it keeps things interesting!

[annaportia]

The same goes for me! If I have music when I'm actually writing, I tend to find it distracting.

[TheBluester]

It all depends on the genre I'm writing! If I'm writing a purely fantasy-oriented book then I'll probably listen to Vindsvept or any other artist that makes fantasy music! However, if I'm writing darker content then I tend to listen to anything that gives me a more dystopian type of feel or just gives me a feeling of being on the edge of my seat. ^o^

[TheDoublekey]

I usually listen to music, but when I feel like it I also listen to video essays on youtube.

[Kelheor]

Music, mostly games soundtracks (Folklore, Witcher, Final Fantasy, Persona, Legend of Zelda, Bastion, Hades) and I have a few special playlists I listen to all the time. Also a lot of rain/thunderstorm, frequently together with music I can't concentrate on the speech when drawing, so podcasts and audio books are impossible to listen, and I absolutely can't sit in the silence, it's killing me.

[gempompadour]

I always have youtube stuff on the background. I listen to music, documentaries, commentaries, reviews, video essays, lore videos, let's plays and re-listen my fav youtubers' videos. Lol, I don't think I've actually watched a video on youtube for a while.

[crimson_mystery_cake]

I watch YouTube videos

[thiscrepe]

I like to listen to a full album, in order.

[drawnbyyannan]

I usually have a song I'm into at the moment that I play on repeat till I get tired of it. I get too easily distracted if there's no music but also if the music changes. The repetitiveness of a song helps me get into an almost trance-like groove I guess. XD

[ricardoaltuna]

I usually have youtube videos playing on my phone.
