how the fuck do people balance talking to others and drawing? I draw very often and it takes a lot of focus for me. More often than not I have t clog my ears with music just to keep me on task. But somehow im expected to chat with people during. I can't join voice calls either because those are even more distracting. People end up getting upset when I don't respond fast enough, despite me saying im drawing. I guess the issue is that it's ALL I do.
