When you're working, do you like being watched by others?

[Sir_Alex85]

On occasion, my family ask why I'm "drawing Santa Claus". (My mother asked me why I have an obsession with him, and I speeched her how Santa is the coolest dude to ever rule the seven seas... She finally left).

 

 

 

I don't like people watching me work. Be it sigs, or when I'm sketching stuff at school. Though, in my sketchbook, I'll usaully let my friends see what I drew afterwards, check the reactions, and then decide if it's a good joke for a sig. ;P Sadly, most of my sketches are somehwat vulgar, and have to be toned down.

If you ask me art is all about expressing yourself and thats exactly what i do, weather im painting, sketching, taking a photo or doing something on my computer i love it when someone comes up and watches me work for the following reasons...

 

 

 

i totaly agree with the bolded statment, but not so much about the second part. i personaly find it very distracting and sometimes i get worried of what they may think, say i do something wrong, often its the pressure that i hate the most about it. i love to show my work to people and will often ask friends/family to look at my latest art work and give CC on it, but not whaile im making it. i usaly dont really know where im going with a piece unless i drew it out so theres alot of trial and error in my work, this means for someone watching it they may be like, oh that looks rubbish or whatever, and yes sometimes it does, on its own, however when i add it to a larger images and compleat it all it looks far better there. its about seing the bigger picture and such, im used to that by now, ive been drawing since i could and have enjoyed it and been pixeling for about a year and a half... *mental blank, trys to think of what to say without going totaly off topic...*
