As the subject says... what is your favorite thing to draw and why?

I tend to like drawing "cute" things, particularly animals and short, cartoon/anime people. :D

Random lines or blocks of black because I have yet to learn the art of drawing. Though, I do think of myself as a good writer.

You'd be surprised how much you can make with just random lines and blocks. Study a little perspective and voila! You've got yourself your very own cityscape. I think most people can learn to draw. It just takes time and good observation skills. Well, and maybe a little hand-eye coordination, but that can be improved with time usually.

Writing is one of those things I enjoy, but I don't do it enough to get good at it. I keep saying I'll get back into it, but I haven't gotten around to it. Do you enjoy writing about any topics in particular?

Houses and buildings.

To be specific, I most enjoy drawing floor plans, but I also draw structures from an exterior perspective only at times.

I like drawing fan art of my favorite film characters in either a cartoonish or anime style.

I draw geometric shapes, and old fashion T.V. sets. I still remember when I was very young my sister showing me how to draw a cube. I have absolutely no talent for drawing so everything I learn how to draw is a revelation.

I just finished my memoir, and I have this idea for a literary science fiction novel. Thank you for asking.

I also like drawing faces most.
I don't think I draw in an anime-ish style at all, though a couple of people have commented that I do, which is weird 8O
Well, perhaps occasionally a little bit, if I feel like drawing a beautiful male. A bit. But I'm not into the whole exaggerated über-huge eyes and "cute"/childlike features.

Goblins! I'm planning on making my own cartoon series one day... I just love drawing their giant noses and big bat-like ears :twisted:

I'm not really into drawing anime; I get my inspiration from western cartoons :D.

Now can please someone tell me how to post pictures on here?? I can post some examples.

Cubes, triangles etc. Anykind of 3-dimentional geometrical forms. I like doing a painting in 2D but having one thing in it in 3D. Like doing a portrait with only one part of the body in 3D.

I love drawing faces too. I can't say I'm particularly good at them, but I do try. I'd like to get better at drawing cartoon-like expressions.

Oh, you'll need a site like photobucket in order to upload them. Once you make an account, log in and upload whatever you want from my computer. You'll want to use the IMG code one, since that's in BBCode and will get recognized by the forum.

For me, I've been progressively moving away from anime, though my characters still have a strong anime influence at times. So... go figure. Western cartoons are sillier and way more expressive. Both pluses by my book. :D

And editing again: I loooooove goblins. Do share when you get a chance! I'd like to see.

Thanks!

Now bare in mind that these are quickies drawn on Flash MX, so this isn't of my highest skill :) Oh, and I forgot to fill in some; I didn't realise that would show on here :?.
