Just thought of this and I’m curious, where do y’all draw? (Like where do you sit when you draw)
I see people talking about back/neck pain etc from drawing at a desk and sometimes I just. Forget that a lot of people actually sit down at a desk to draw

I usually just draw while lying in bed lmao. It’s comfortable and if I had to sit at my desk to draw then I probably wouldn’t draw nearly as much (I’ll sit at a desk for traditional art but that’s it)Dec 22, 2023

I usually draw at a desk or on the bed. If I'm drawing on the bed, I'm more likely to get too comfortable and I want to go to sleep. I sometimes draw on the floor or standing near a high table since I draw on an iPad or a sketchbook.

I do wish I have a swivel chair. That'll be fun.

Table or desk. I don't get back pain unless I draw for too long. I've only done that maybe once, where I worked for so long that I had to rest for several days afterwards.

If I'm drawing digitally then I draw at my living room table because that's where my laptop is, but if I'm drawing traditional then I'll pretty much draw anywhere

•

I lie on my back on bed. It's just so comfy. Haven't experienced back or neck pain so far

•

At my desk! I often use many colorpencils or markers, so the desk is messy, I don't know how could I draw somewhere else, for example while lying in bed, where would all the art supplies be?

Or like someone mentioned that they draw in the kitchen - I would have to take all art supplies to the kitchen

•

On the couch lmao

•

I’m either at my desk for paper or wherever on my iPad. I have an artist desk and an armless swivel chair which is pretty comfortable

•

•

Since I have an iPad, I don’t really have to stay in one place when I draw and I typically don’t either. I’ll usually start on the couch, or on my bed and then I end up wandering to say the kitchen table. Of course, I don’t always do this, sometimes when I’m really focused on my drawing, I’ll stay in the same spot for a while, so it really depends.

•

I lie on my bed, its comfortable but sometimes it messes with the nerve in my elbow

•

I’m always on the move. Right now, I’ve made a nest in my stepfather’s kitchen during the Christmas break.
It’s on a narrow table in a cramped room next to the microwave and facing the door in.

I like it. I can cook and clean and go straight to drawing while the room still smells like soap and onions :]

•

•

I mostly draw digitally. I have a desktop PC and the tablet connected to it so... Yeah, draw at my desk most of the time, and it is a pain ahsjjsjs I want a Samsung tablet so I can draw in my bed :c (I don't want an iPad bc I'm not used to Apple at all lmao)

•

I usually draw at my standing desk (because sitting a few hours straight is killing my back)

•

usually at my desk (8 out of 10 i sit in very weird sitting positions and change the way i sit like every two mins lmao) and on my bed

•

•

Desk most of the times, but place changes at random: bed, mom's room, dinning room, living room, backyard to be with my kitties.

•

•

I sit at my desk, the paper lies on the flat surface. I wish I had a leaning support to place the paper sheet at the right angle. When I need to trace a sketch onto a new sheet, I stick everything to my window, but drawing vertically is super uncomfortable.

•

I sit at my desk. I've drawn in bed a few times but having my laptop and tablet on my bed and trying to draw properly is not as comfortable as it sounds

•

On the couch in the living room, my bed or seldom by my desk

•

Corner of my bed, couch, at the kitchen table, the stairs, on top of my desk
Yknow, the usual

•

•

I draw in my bed laying down

•

i sit in bed too. usually have my laptop next to me playing a video while my display tablet is propped up with my knees. no neck/back pain for me :D

•

•

I draw on my bed leaning my back against the wall and I just get eraser crumbs and smudged graphite everywhere lol

•

•

i usually just lie on my stomach like a gator and draw on the bed, but then if i want to get up my lower back will hurt so much

if i draw on the desk my upper back will scream bc i sit like a shrimp

•

•

Usually in my bed in the same position as when I sleep (on my left side). Other times, on the subway train or lying on the couch

. I have enough back pain from schoolwork so I need art to rest my body and mind

•

•
