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

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

An example:

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

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 :’)

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

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

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

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!

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

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^

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

Kelheor 2021-09-20 18:42:55 UTC #25

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.

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 2021-09-20 19:00:54 UTC #27

I watch YouTube videos

thiscrepe 2021-09-21 01:30:20 UTC #28

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

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 2021-09-21 12:54:07 UTC #30

I usually have youtube videos playing on my phone.

Sethstiel 2021-09-21 13:27:05 UTC #31

Japanese acoustic songs (mostly anime ost, can be covers)

BlueDragon 2021-09-22 01:03:08 UTC #32

I listen to a variety of stuff, depending on my mood.

If I don't want to get distracted, I put on our local jazz station.

If I don't want jazz, I put on my "favorites" list on YouTube, or I find some albums or stuff I want to hear.

Often, I'll have videos or podcasts playing in the background, if I'm not doing something that takes my full attention.

Synthe & lo-fi, songs in other languages (La Femme is a favorite), techno or anime sounds tracks are also goodies I like to listen to. Just depends on my mood.

euphisa 2021-09-22 01:07:37 UTC #33

I listen to classical music, or sometimes anime music
