I hate people watching me do anything I could potentially mess up, I overthink everything when I know I'm being observed
•
•:D I physically cannot draw when people are watching me unless everyone else in the room is an artist, but I’m trying to get better so I can stream in some smaller discord servers (also physically cannot draw on Aggie, idk why I just panic)

Extremely awkward because I feel like they're judging me. I always draw badly on purpose if someone's looking so they know I'm not fr drawing
•
To be honest I don’t really mind if it’s my friends or someone I won’t be meeting in the next few years like a stranger ¯\(ツ)/¯
•
If I’m sketching or trying to figure out the piece or what I wanna draw, nope. But if I’ve made progress beyond lineart then I don’t mind
•
depends on the person's vibe and where are they watching from, i don't have any problem if they're sitting at my side while watching, it's actually kinda comforting/nice at some point, some ppl get bored asf while watching other ppl draw so i appreciate the patience
•
Hate it. I always draw worse when I'm being watched lol. Even when I do things like speedart, just knowing people will see me draw in the future stresses me out so i don't do as well XD
•
it depends!
if it’s a stranger or someone i don’t know too well i often get kinda miffed because i can’t tell if they’re judging or just creeping on me
but if it’s a family member or friend i like it! they often ask questions or we get into good convos about whatever i’m drawing - and sometimes they give me tips too if they notice i’m stuck and it’s nice

hate it sooo much, especially when they're like practically leaning in. it's like i don't mind if u glance once ina while but i need my space.
•
If you just walk up behind me and don’t say anything and just stand there please says something or leave.
•
If you mean irl, it bothers me bc people I know irl don't know what I draw
But I don't care about people online. I'd like to get into streaming if I could!

I become hyperaware of people's presence behind my back, so it's a little uncomfortable
