The bird in the first photo and the drink in the last photos are my favorites.
instead of focusing my attention on the movie and sit down there I also draw on my sketch pad.
I also often have tv as a backround. Not really practical and wastes electricity but I have hard time getting rid of this habit.
The bird is from a Youtube video. He does awesome with his colors and maybe you'll want to follow his tutorials too. :D
Does the tv in the background help you focus more?
Maybe. I am not sure about that.
