Best time to work on the comic ?

Welp with Rita going nutz outside and my folks only running the generator a few hours a day what better thing to do than draw. I'll admit though- candle light sucks for drawing - especially if your trying to do so lightly

And now my room smells like fish - darn airiator...
All for the creative process.
When is the best time to draw for you guys?

Definitely late at night

no interruptions/distractions!

Yeah , I like working at night with the radio or the computer playin' . But computers and radios can be distracting sometimes too... Thats why there's nothing better than a black out or Hurricane

When you have more important things to be doing.

Late at night is great - when you have to be up early the next morning.

Sadly enough, at my convention table. I finished penciling 3 pages in a weekend. For me, that's a record. There was just that much traffic.

Sadly it seems it's always easier to get a comic done in record time when your supposed to be doing something else... school work for example

I got more stuff done when I was in school! ( not actual work of course - that would be silly)

There is no best time.

Yeah, I can attest to that.
In-between classes is a good time for me, though.

co-signed. I draw them whenever I can...or when I'm not lazy.

I'm never not lazy, but I do manage to get comics done sometimes.

It's when I need a comic done that I seem to become instant ADD- not ADHD - just ADD

*drawy drawy* "Ooooo is dat a hummin bird?!"

I'd say between classes. By then, I'm awake enough to draw, and I have free time to draw something.

ManyWorlds · Post by **ManyWorlds** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 9:41 am

I get artists block sometimes. read: a lot I'll know basically what I want to do, just not be sure how to draw it.

Ah well... time for generator to go bye bye. Hopefully an okay comic will come out of this....

I've noticed that I can whip out good drawings when I'm supposed to be donig something else. I dunno why, but that's how it is with me.

To be honest, I can put pencil to paper at anytime. It's just having the motivation to do so. Much like Kevin Pease, I find that I'm most productive and creative at night.

For me it's not so much a question of <i>when</i> as <i>where</i>.
I can't do any work in my room, with the exception of writing and (every so often) work on my Pimpette website.
I do my best work in the kitchen, where I have no internet and no distractions, and in the computer commons at school, where I have internet but no MSN (damn msn-blockers), and very rarely is there anyone I know around to pester me - they're all doing work too.
For comics, it's the same - although if I draw in the commons I've usually got one or two people looking over my shoulder. It's a trifle disconcerting, but I just put headphones on and try to ignore them.
