(Music) Just wondering?

Yes, I quite often listen to music when I am drawing (though sometimes I realise an hour later I'm just wearing empty headphones!). My music collection/tastes aren't that varied, I listen to the same stuff quite often.

If I am alone in the house I usually stick on some of my favourite tunes and sing away while I paint. Whether these things influence me I don't know, I just enjoy it.

Very cool hearing everyone's responses. ... Love the avatar, Mercurycat.

I never sing and paint, just listen and use it to zone out. Dark Side of the Moon is a favourite, my best album of all time.

When I carve I always listen to music, with my favorites being Soundtracks. Everything from Star Wars, to more recent films like Avatar. When I sit down to the computer to paint I never think of listening to anything, maybe because I don't always know how long I will be at it. I should probably try it, perhaps I would stay with it for longer.

I, like many others, listen to a broad variety of music when painting. But, I am not really listening to it, if I am honest. It's just better to have something in the background than nothing.

If I listen to classical pieces (like soundtracks) I get lost in the music too much. It therefore becomes a distraction. So, often I listen to some ambient rock like Alter Bridge or Avenged Seven Fold, that sort of thing. Something that won't take my attention too often
