What do you listen to/watch when you're drawing? I usually listen to music and sometimes a podcast, but never when I'm sketching. I can't sketch and pay attention to words at the same time

I put on a video called ‘songs that make me feel like the protagonist in a coming of age teen movie’ its like over an hour of tunes. Otherwise I put on that sweet lofi and chill. Or creepypasta.
•
I put on random music or I listen to Markiplier's playlists of like him playing scary games or games with his friends xD so entertaining & it makes me smile while I work
•
I honestly can't pay attention without things in the background, so sometimes I just have audio (music/podcasts) and other times I need visuals too (movies, anime, documentaries) and everynow and then, I'll have both playing at the same time
•
I listen to a lot of nightcore lol. Or I’ll watch drawingwiffwaffles, she’s rlly inspiring
•
Nowadays i listen to music, before i used to listen to dnd podcasts but like id get too invested in them and end up not drawing at all and just listenening to the podcast
•
Music, podcast, or longer yt videos so i dont have to worry about finding something new haha
•
I usually listen to music or podcasts as well, but sometimes after a while, if I need to concentrate a lot I start feeling overwhelmed and I prefer to work in complete silence.
•
I’ve found that having a video game livestream in the background is my favorite way to draw. Drawing and listening to my favorite content creators combined is such an enjoyable experience.
•
I have this weird thing where I actually pay more attention if there’s background noise. I would often get scolded in school for doodling while the teacher explained something, I found that those classes I had the lowest grade on
But anyway! I really like listening to podcasts (ologies is my fave), coffee shop/rain/ocean sounds, twitch streams and music that fits the mood of what I’m working on.

•I have playlists for each section of the series I’m writing with my friends, so I play whichever one fits the best for the drawing :)
•
•Years ago I've read somewhere that video-game music is specifically made to help players concentrate, and I did notice that when listening to said music (mostly ost from puzzle games) I get distracted a lot less.
•
•Since I’m drawing mostly Joker based on Nolan’s movie.....Hans Zimmer it is, but it also depends on the mood I’m in xD
•
•I like listening to musical soundtracks or tv shows Ive already seen before so I can tune in and out as Im drawing depending how focused I need to be, and not worry about missing anything or not paying attention to what Im listening too
•
•I listen to music for sketching because I can’t multitask at all. Then I’ll switch to a podcast for more mindless parts like coloring or line art!
•
•I usually listen to a stream vods that I've already watched before or music. I've been trying to stay away from music with lyrics while drawing lately though so mostly video game soundtracks
•
•Just a long music playlist, with songs I'm familiar with so I don't stop what I'm doing and check what the song is.
•
•What ever music comes on my YouTube mix, witch is usually filled with songs like I’m glad your evil too by PinocchioP and All eyez on me by 4jay X Luci4!
•
•Music mostly, a little of everything or I'll put on a show that is good for background and looking up at like That 70s Show etc.
