    Everyone has their least favourite part of their creative process. What's yours?
    You can mention your favourite part too if you want!

    When I used to use lineart in my drawings it used to be that but then I just transitioned to a lineless art style to avoid it hahah!
    Currently my least favourite part is drawing hands. =w=
    I also hate when you try and draw an expression but you cant make it express what you want it to express?

    Least favourite thing about drawing is coloring/shading. I just draw outer structure and when it comes to shading or coloring I suck :sweat: .
    Least favourite part of writing is grammar lol. The most important thing along with ideas, grammar is bad for me. I am not good at it and I make mistakes and thats what I dont like. But anyway I am trying to overcome this by learning English perfectly ^_^

    I'm not much of a drawer, but I do write. I hate when I have like.. 1,000 ideas in my head and I cannot write them all down at once! Or when I'm writing a specific piece and multiple thoughts come to me at once about different situations that are going to happen in my writing piece. I'll always jump away from the current section I'm working on to begin working on the section that's on my mind. But then when I come back to the previous piece, it's like, "aww man! What was I gonna do here?!" :S

    My least favorite part about drawing is probably poses. I love everything else about the process, but deciding on what angle the character's foot should follow or something like that always irks me.

    As for writing, I just hate sitting down to actually write. I love brainstorming. I love writing overall. It's just that I struggle to sit down and write.

    I find that regardless of how much time I put into something it's nearly impossible to translate the idea I have in my head into an actual drawing which is no fun at all, can be draining in the long run too. I feel like my skill will never match my vision which seems to be a fairly common problem. Something is better than nothing though!

    Inking is such a pain too especially given this penchant I have for designing detailed characters... It's worth it in the end though!

    Two words: writer's block.

    Also, when no one leaves reviews. I've been practically begging for criticism for years and I've gotten very little of it. I have a friend who's more or less in the same boat, and we help each other out to the best of our abilities, but there's only so much that can be done in that kind of situation. Poor guy's frustrated as heck because he's in his twenties and feels like he was a better writer at fifteen.

    And when you finally get a review, and it's just nit-picking about punctuation. Why Farla. Just why.

    For my writing, it's actually writing. It's more of me planning about 20 chapters in advance, and then me seeing how much I need to write makes me not want to... it's an unfortunate circle.

    Yes. Definitely. I hate when I get writers block, and I feel like I'm completely useless. I'm good once I'm out of it, but I feel like I'm in a black hole of no ideas when it happens.

    Farla plagues us all lol

    As for drawing, I'm not the greatest of anatomy. I'm doing a bit better now, but I hate it when I notice that a foot looks weird or that an arm is bent somewhat oddly.

    My least favorite part about drawing would have to be drawing hands. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to get the fingers right.

    For drawing, it's either poses or hands. Why must hands be so.. handy. And poses are just hard to me for some reason. Probably positioning and angles and stuff.

    For writing, it would probably be actually writing. All day, at school and stuff, I get like, a billion ideas, but when I finally get time to actually write, those ideas go away and leave me blank, having no idea what words are.

    In drawing, Posing is the worst. Especially hands and their million fricken joints. So many times I've looked at my sketch and just think, "that looks to rigid and weird" and then I erase everything and try again, and sometimes it still doesn't work! Uggh.
    Anyway, my favorite part is probably expressions and lighting/shading. Expressions are just fun to mess around with and lighting/shading is just nice and relaxing to mindlessly do.

    The thing I hate the most about writing is looking at my work after I finish writing. It's always bad.

    For drawing, it's the hands. I once used to draw every person with their hands behind their backs just to avoid drawing the hands.

    As for writing, I think that's got to be starting and ending a story. Those first and last few paragraphs are always the hardest to write...

    With both, I hate looking at my old drawings or reading my old stories. I can hardly do that without cringing half the time.

    This thread was meant for me.

    For my writing, its finding motivation AND a good idea to write about. I've tossed so many ideas for this one silly one shot already and I haven't even started on it because I have no ideas...

    Drawing wise, its also finding an idea to work around. I usually want to work with many different ideas instead of drawing the same character from the same angle every time.

    For me, the worst part about writing is editing. Having a reading disability makes it hard to look over what I have written. It also means I don't read much and I am unsure of the format of stories. I use a text to speech software to listen to my work but it doesn't always work well. I am lucky I found a editor who will read it aloud for me. Editing, I don't like.

    The plotbunnies that take over and multiply by the second. Really brain, focus for once.

    For drawing? HANDS. My WORST nightmare. I actually draw all my OCs or characters with pockets just so I don't have to face the unholy terror of drawing five fingers.
    As for writing, it's gotta be typing too fast and writing words like 'ahve' instead of 'have' or 'ahnd' instead of 'hand' (both of which I just did writing this post).

    All the ideas that flies around when creating a new story and you're trying to get them all down before they disappear, sometimes the collide and creates a mess I can't write down because it'll make no sense, or if you're really lucky like me they're forgotten and not remember till months later where because I wasn't fast enough.
