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

I listen to a lot of stuff, Music, Video rants, Audiobooks. I just enjoy listen to interesting stuff while drawing.

I have a playlist for each character that helps me write for them. It really helps me keep them from going out of character.

Electric chill, rave, techno, dance, ect ect.

So I listen to specific music to get my mind in a particular zone before I write, but when I actually write it, has to be silent with slight ambient sound in the background. If it's too quiet my ears will focus on stuff too much, but if there's actual music or lyrics going I won't be able to think of words because I'll be mentally singing along.

So when I write a book I have to listen to either the same album or the same song before I write each chapter. But I might listen to a different album or set of songs when working on a different book.

Pretty much each of my books has a unique sound track because of this.

The vibe and tone of the music helps me to consistently write in the same style. I don't know if anyone else is like this but it works for me.

Sad chilled-out ambient stuff or J-Rock with lyrics I don't understand. English words distract me while writing in English! So if I know less about what's going on in a song or if it's minimal amounts of English, that's what works for me!

This is non-negotiable, y'all

I sort of half-watch YouTube videos. I can listen to music just fine, but podcasts, for whatever reason, I tune out. I think having the video feed up, and glancing up at it now and then, helps me both draw and listen. Helps me cut down my 'watch later' list, too.

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

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:

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

DemureGirl 2021-09-20 00:55:43 UTC #18

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

nostalgicroxas 2021-09-20 01:02:31 UTC #19

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!

annaportia 2021-09-20 03:03:21 UTC #22

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