Hair! For some reason, I have the hardest time drawing hair. Mostly girl’s hair. I can draw boy’s hair OK, and even shortish-medium girls hair. But long girl’s hair gives me nightmares! That’s one reason I don’t draw girls that often.
I also have a big problem with inking my pictures. If there’s one thing I don’t look forward to while working on a picture, it’s inking. I happen to draw a lot of long, smooth, curved lines, so it’s not fun at all.

Bikes! I hate to draw those! We had a recent assignment in my art class about perspective, it was annoying.
I hate to draw hands, though. Since I usually am drawing people, hands are really annoying, and profiles are terrible!

What do I hate to draw? Anything with a straight line… straight lines freak me out. I love your illustration and I’m glad I found your site.

I’m working on a kids book right now featuring… you guessed it…bikes.

I’d have to say the hardest part about drawing bikes is probably getting the rider to fit properly and look natural.

For some reason it usually helps me to block out the bike first and then fit the rider. Even though it feels more natural to do it the other way around, it just seems to come out better if I draw the bike first.

As always, I find your site tremendously helpful and inspirational.

Thanks for putting it out there and
keep up the great work.

Im A professional Illustrator/ comic artist. I get this all the time. Talking heads does it to me. Two people, in a normal room, having a normal conversation, yeeesh.

I think the solution to drawing something you dont know, when you draw most of your work out of your head, is to just trust yourself and draw it from your head anyway. People will look at your weird ‘head bike’ and (if youve done it right) think ‘No one other than you could have drawn this!’

I hate drawing ears. They usually end up looking like a clamshell…
