Somewhat fail title...
Anyway, I was having this conversation with a few friends of mine, because they were confused with my habit of drawing in all sorts of weird poses... I don't have on preferred way of sitting/lying when I draw, but it got me curious about how others work...

So... How do you sit when you draw? Either just reply, or make a scribble of it!


Like this, for instance:

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

i sit on the floor with my hand on a wall,and placing my leg above it.
the other lake of mine would then be pointed 90 degrees upward with my other hand supporting it.
then i put a pencil into my mouth and start drawing.

It's either sitting on the bed, doing some weird yoga-thing with my legs and with my drawing block in my lap... pencil and eraser next to me, sitting at my desk hunched/crunched over (and often resulting in back pains, unfortunately) or on a chair with the drawing block on my legs...

I much prefer the first or last ones though. Just a tad more shaky, but definately more comfortable than the second position.

I always draw at midnight, in my bed. Everyday I wake up with a pencil in my hand. :3

I draw on a chair,cramped up upon my sheet.
There's like ten centimeters that separates me from my sheet,my friends tell me I'll worsten my vision by working this way but I can't help it
My pencil arsenal for shadowing and fading next to me,along with my eraser.I bought myself little pieces of sand paper especially made for drawers,they're convenient when sharpening a pencil to it's limit (Like you could kill with it XD)

Hehe, that's not a bad way to wake up! I'd just be afraid I'd poke an eye out, though... Aren't you a bit scared about that?

I sometimes draw lying down on the bed and sometimes sitting on a chair while 1 elbow is to the chair.
