meh, it's just a quick scribble in paint, but that's the two ways I draw. POS. 1 is when I'm drawing on the comp, and POS. 2 is whenever I'm drawing with a pencil and paper.

I do that hunched over one too.
So you have a chair that you lean back in while you put your feet on a wall and use the mouse?

yes exactly XD. It's the most comfortable to me. I always have my feet pushed up either on my wall or on the back of the desk. . . .or at least when I'm at the computer. I love laying down XD.

i don't draw much but when i do i draw like really close to what i am drawing and put both of my arms on the edge of the table/desk

yea i do what fst6 does but i have my tounge out haha

Uhm, like this.

I was lying like that while drawing it. If you'd walked into my room, that's pretty much what you would have seen..

LOL

I sat like that while drawing it, so yes? But in my bed... Still like that, though.

At least one foot firm on the ground and a straight back. Who chills when they draw? Of course I don't have a tablet or anything similar so I can't have all sorts of lazy postures. Plus pencil and paper works best on a hard flat surface, preferably one that is stable.

You have not enough technic, Gantic:P... Actually, drawing while - chilling is easy, and works fine for me. Unless, of corse, you are working on an A3... But just a book or something to use as surface, and then you will be fine.

Depends where I am, but usually in a normal-ish position. My elbows are always out, BTW. And sometimes, I'll put my legs in some weird position, which makes it much easier to concentrate.

Umm....let me draw it...



THats me if I am using the touch pad....i might have my mouse at the side if I am using it....I will usually use a mouse for when I animate...

Other times I'll be at my desk...or on the couch in the lounge....I don't draw much though because I suck at drawing!

I did do that sometimes, not recently, since drawings like that tend to end up a bit smudgy. From the positions I see here, restricted elbow movement = wrist fatigue!
