Yes.

On some occasions where I feel irritated/angry/frustrated and/or feeling downright insane on the inside, I can draw a really intense looking Sephiroth while blasting "One Winged Angel" on my iPod or from iTunes. On mellower days I can draw a standard cold and unemotional looking Sephiroth. (Yeah...he's my favorite art muse). I tend to internalize my feelings a lot (sort of a trait for being an introvert) so drawing helps me to deal with coming into terms with those emotions.
...At the least drawing Sephiroth helps me to avoid becoming like him. :lol:

If I'm busy with finals or other kind of school work, it leaves me little time to draw. If I do manage to take some time to work on something in PhotoShop or in my sketchbook, I usually do fine. However, sometimes I might be out of it because of being so busy with other work.

I think it works the other way around. For me, anyway:) Anything, from my domestic/global travels to my nights at the opera to my conversations with people to my favorite books, inspires my art, which in turn, influences my mood when I look back to see what I did.

I don't draw when I feel forced to it. Or when I am in the mood to curl up and hide somewhere in the corner from everything and everyone.

Yes, I think. When I feel empty, I can't draw anything. Then, it depends of what do you want to exteriorize I guess :3
(Pigeons rule !!)

Having a 2 year old boy affects me as well. XP I don't think I've even picked up a pencil in months.

Yes, for example, if I am in a shitty mood I will not draw anything for days, weeks, months xD
