What does /ic/ listen to while drawing?

>>3097902
Mostly classical music, helps keep me relaxed

>>3097904
What like Mozart?

The Bob Ross twitch stream

math rock or jazz stuff. also IDM. i just flow with full albums

noisy and depressive music and sometimes podcasts

Nothing unless it's a braindead task like cleanup.

Usually some K-indie.

Podcast and art related videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4E4kjQIw6M

I try to match music to the tone of what I'm drawing

>>3097902
the angriest gamer you've ever heard.
or old game music
or bach, mozart, or a few other things.

>>3097902
it's not good to listen to music drawing. You should be concentrating on the task at hand not trying subconsciously distract yourself

>>3098119
But silence is boring. Silence makes me think bad thoughts again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npcGql9Ir6Y

>>3097904
When I listen to classical while I draw I get all nervous because I feel like I need to catch up on my piano training

A variety of genres, usually Lo fi, jazz or anything that gets me in a peaceful mood.

>>3098150
boring is subjective. Silence is space for creativity. Being easily distracted because you are cognitively or emotionally weak suggests you have no business seeking art gains until you sort yourself out.

>>3098214
That's a pretentious way to look at it.

>>3098222
You must be new to IC. Most of the people here are pretentious lmao.

>>3098229
Sure.

>WHY DID THIS ARTIST MAKE IT BUT NOT ME IM WAY BETTER WAAAH

>TUMBLR PEOPLE DRAW NOSES IN A STYLE THAT I DONT LIKE THEY SUCK

>THIS PARTICULAR ARTIST IS TRASH AND IM BETTER BUT ILL PASS ON POSTING MY WORK

>XD UR DRAWINGS BAD BUT INSTEAD OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ILL JUST BE SARCASTIC IN HOPES OF HEALING MY OWN EGO

>TALENT MEANS U HAVE AN HIGH IQ

>NGMI

>THIS FAMOUS ARTIST IS ACTUALLY REALLY BAD

>IM BETTER THAN 99% OF /IC/ BUT I'M TOO SCARED TO POST WORK

>MAYBE DRAWING ISNT FOR U

>THIS PARTICULAR PAINTING IS VERY BAD I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT ITS SO SHIT

Sums up /ic/ pretty much. Aside from the occasional good post this is all there is.

>>3098239
Hm. Doesn't sound all too unfamiliar from /v/. I think I'll get used to it.

>>3098222
There is nothing pretentious about the common sense here. If you are distracted, even if in a calming way, you are STILL distracted. Therefore the attention to your work diminishes and its quality does so too.

The Mozart Effect is pseudoscience.

You shouldn't really listen to music while drawing. Ambience and noise generators are probably okay.

If you don't give a shit about this guy, he cites a few professional animators who had made points about not listening to music while drawing because of it being distracting.

1MB, 1778x1806px

usually documentary or edutainment podcasts or music, depending on the mood and what I'm drawing. I really like cheesy synths, but sometimes ambient works too.
Sometimes I put on a gaymin stream.

Still haven't been able to find an /ic/ related podcast but maybe that's because i'm not looking hard enough.

>>3098301
Yes, yes, we get it, you're new to drawing. Everyone at every studio I've worked at listens to music or a podcast or something like that.

I only discovered PCO through one of these threads from a few years back, so I always make an effort to return the favour and post it again so others can learn about them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvbCV6E0Wro

>>3097902
Classical music or white noise. Both help me focus a massive amount.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzjWIxXBs_s

I'm actually interested to see if listening to white noise helps anyone else as much.

>>3098344
>Everyone at every studio I've worked at listens to music or a podcast or something like that.

And they grind out work that pays peanuts
Those little studios for making ((phone-games)) that you "worked" at are monotonous, there is no real effort to produce good work, just shit to get clicks

Post your work, prove my point

>>3098374
Har har! Asking someone to post their work in a thread about what music we listen to when drawing feels like a well-crafted satire of where /ic/'s board culture has been at for a while. No need for the biting negativity, my friend, here's another song I listen to a lot while working:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eEMDfUwS3o

>>3098379
Why can't you show us this studio quality work you can produce while listening to music?

What about podcasts and such? Would you say it's too distracting?

or music that is relevant to the tone or atmosphere of the peace, can give a lot of inspiration if you know the right shit

lofi hiphop streams are the death of music

>>3097902
Most of the time I listen to progressive house mixes and RnB. Sometimes video game soundtracks when I'm in the mood.

gross it's like you're too weak to commit suicide so you're trying to kill your humanity instead

Serious question, how do you listen to white noise and shit? It's painful and more distracting than anything, it's like listening to tinnitus for fuck's sake? Will probably build tinnitus too.

B-but I listen to them ironically and so it feels like there are other peoples and anime wifaus in my room ;-;

>>3097902
those eyes looks like vaginas

I'm trying to stop the habit of constantly having something blasting in the background.
Multitasking is cancer for the brain.
If I need to block out outside noises I just listen to pink/white/brown noise.

>>3098753
I guess its something that you just adapt to?
In my case I lived a place that was very hot and had no ac so had to get multiple fans they ended up acting as white noise and after using them for a year even after moving i cant sleep without them and my work suffers without them

There are different types of white noise to i guess so try some different ones if you want to listen to white noise?

It depends on the kind of artwork and where you are in the process, but distracting yourself can be beneficial.

I listen to Death Grips. It's strangely relaxing.

silence, listening to music is another activity when getting drunk and letting the mind meander and relax

I prefer it to be quiet. Sometimes I'll put on some well listened to music, familiar background noise, at low volume if there's there are things going on outside my window I need to be distracted from.

>>3097902
Silence is the only thing you should be listening to whilst you draw. If your mind wonders then you're not concentrating on your art enough and if you can't stop thinking bad thou then you're not drawing what you're supposed to be drawing.
>Silence guides the way to those who know how to listen to it.
>If you want to draw trivial pap then listen to something so you can be distracted.

>>3101473
Also, 分解系Records has a lot of free good, calming/glitch records for anyone who enjoys these

http://bunkai-kei.com/release/

Usually classical or some sort of ambient ASMR.
Anything too active is distracting, but I'm too aware of silence to focus.

POGO's song Wishery is always really inspirational for me.

^Best taste and sense

It changes, I like feeling the mood of my drawing so if I draw something sad, I will listen slow, melancholic stuff like Radiohead, Cyberpunk stuff ?, 80's retro-synthwave and it goes on.

Jazz fusion, Jazz, Blues, Funk, tasty blues licks on their own. Also this Whisky Blues mixes are some good quality stuff.

You see this is a tricky one.

People like Feng Zhu tend to listen to music but then again you could argue he already has fundamental knowledge to turn his brain off. I remember watching a video saying music actually does impact your ability to create work negatively.

It could just be personal preference.

Depends on the ambience where I'm drawing.

>>3106894
With a topic like this there's bound to be no correct answer.

If I had to apply one or the other approach to all people on earth, with the goal of maximizing productivity and quality, I'd argue that no-music would be more productive based on simple logic of less information for your brain to process should mean that there's more room to process the information that you're trying to put out (of course this is not how the brain truly works, but I feel like it's analogous), but on an individual level there's no other way to figure it out except for trying both.

>>3106894
all asians listen to music while they do creative work. the thing is theres no creative thinking happening that would be impacted by music... asians do things a specific way that, in your words, doesnt really call for turning "on" their brain ever. there are no conscious decisions. just things theyve always done and stealing from other artists they have internalized subconsciously. the asian mind allows for this kind of process that results in art completely separated from the ego.

hope you enjoyed reading that drivel.
