What do you listen to while drawing....

For discussions, announcements, non-technical questions and anything else comics-related or otherwise that doesn't fit in any of the other categories.

You sir, are one hell of a dude :P

Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes/Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die

I have this really bad habit of spending my MP3 player's battery while drawing rather than, say, when I actually couldn't just put on a CD. Thus I listen to selected tracks by Linkin Park, franz Ferdinand and Gwen Stefani, a variety of random anime tracks, and Sailormoon tracks. Lots and lots of Sailormoon tracks.

I love that song, in an ironic sort of way. I don't know if I'd be able to take it for hours, though.

I just can't listen to music. Not when I'm drawing, not when I'm doing homework, or writing, or anything. I just love music too much; I spend all my brainpower listening to it, or humming along, or making up harmonies, or whatever, and absolutely nothing else gets done.

My drug of choice at the moment is Sarah Slean's new release, Day One.

Welll... it depends on my mood and what kind of drawing it is... but...

Delerium. I listen A LOT to Delerium.

That and meditation music, or new age stuff... nature's harmonies, solitudes, that sort of stuff. Really helps me focus.

But sometimes I just listen to a random mix or everything.

They are most helpful to get inspired.
