Am I the only artist who doesn’t have “fun” drawing?
Very often I see someone post something and say “I had fun drawing this”, or “I love drawing ___”, and the concept has always been very alien for me. Nothing about drawing is what I’d use the word “fun” to describe.
I use “fun” for gaming, or hanging with friends, or an especially engaging film. Drawing, though… it’s a means to an end, the result being the art.
I’d call it “satisfying” when art comes out the way I like it, and “rewarding” when people like it, but “fun”? That doesn’t make any sense.
Maybe it’s just me?

Why not do an experiment, to Draw something Fun for yourself. Instead of aiming for 'art' just draw whatever without regards for the final product.
Then again, this just looked cool, so I faved it.
So yeah Drawing is fun for me.
still your pics is very nice..^w^
to be honest, art can also be just heart.
Depends on how you show your life and how you feel drawing effects you in your own way weather it be for stress relief, for fun or to show someone something.
You are Immelmann and you can be yourself, if fun while drawing it's a weird concept for you it's your opinion, and no one else but you has the right to question that.
You are great.
Sometimes art is a force, something one has to do or draw otherwise driven insane and murders happen or elections. So maybe that's it
More than a decade of scheduled webcomicing and every now and then for money kinda sucked that away I think. Or maybe just age in general.
I guess you could give
Like... trying to draw my own characters and the like is just frustrating to me, 'cause I'm not very good with the whole anatomy thing or matching both sides of the body. Yet I absolutely enjoy and love making accessories, outfits, markings, and eyes. Though... typically one eye. I can never get'em to match.... Large part of my anatomy frustration, that.
So, basically, it's just certain aspects that can be fun, while the outcome may be either frustrating or satisfying!
In short, I think I mostly get what you mean by "mechanical process." I think it's the "deeper" parts of writing (I.E. symbolism, etc.) is when I get all serious.
