I have no confidence in my work at all. And most of the time I am ashamed by what I do, especially when I start something or when I get stuck on a picture for too long.

In school, I've been used to working with people around, and now in the studio, there is no less than 150 people in the same room. It's stressing but I rationalize with the fact that I don't do a better job when I work alone.

It depends, heavily.

In ordinary art classes, it's okay, especially when you have to show progress and I like talking to other people, at times.

However, there are times in which it's kinda annoying, especially if you happen to be drawing something and someone who has no idea of what you're drawing gives you a crictique, especially when one person told me I should make one of my heroes a villain for the fact that he wears black. Either that, or it's kinda hard when you draw something that doesn't seem to fit you, like drawing swords or drawing something that looks like it comes from a DnD catalogue and you get people who think you're a little weird for that.

As I said, it depends.

Depends on my mood, but generally I concentrate better when drawing alone... Perhaps with some music (which depends on the concept of the drawing).

It gave me cramps hiding my drawings and wrinkles on my paper. So I gave up .-. Luckily being in college, no one will remember you when semester ends~~~ probable.

I can't draw, but I do like to work in solitude.
