Both. But my artistic skills are more recognized by the people that know me...I'm embarrassed to let people read my writing most of the time...aside from the occasional limerick...

I concider myself more a writer. Even though I used to draw lots and stuck some stuff up here, I DID used to be both, but writing is more my thing. I'd rather tell stories^^ Of course, I'm always posting around in the art forums because I appreciate the artistic talents of others^^

I doodle, but I'm definitely more of a writer.

I have a pretty huge interest in cinema. Thus that would put me in both screenwriting (writing) and directing (art)

I'm a poetry writer. While my short stories come out completely wrong and sounding to much like where I got the basis of, I've been told I write beautiful poetry.

I'm average at writing and drawing and trying to improve on both tremendously. I find myself drifting a little closer to the Artist side, simply because ....I do. (lol)

I love doing both, although I have to work alot harder at drawing. Writing is a little more natural to me. I'd gladly do a career in either area, so preferable art because that's less academic. ;)

I'm more of a writer. While I love drawing(and am decent at it), I love writing more and my mom's always said I should be a writer. In fact instead of taking a boring, pointless creative writing course, I get to write a novel instead. Ah, the joys of being homeschooled.

I love both. I wrote every day a couple years back, but I'm kind of on an art run now. It seems to alternate every few years.

Both, but I lean more on the art side. I like making stories though.

>_> Of course, the question becomes a bit more complicated when you consider that writing is a form of art . . . but I know what you mean, so I'll let this one slide. ^_^

HOWEVAR. I fancy my self somewhat of an artist, although I'll be necessarily engaging in writing-type exploits, as I have designs on doing a webcomic eventually.

Writer. I've never been all that good at drawing, even when I could.

I'd fancy myself a bit more of an artist. Though I'm trying my hand at a novel and I've done mime and drama as well. I'm also interested in filmmaking so I guess I'm an all around artist -except with playing instruments, I can compose techno but when it comes to playing an instrument I stink. I like to fancy myself more of an drawing artist than anything else.

I'm a writer (written one unpublished book, and I once had a poem published in the college newspaper after 9/11), and an Artist (Associates in Animation). I'm also an other though, (Scientist by right of B.S. in Physics). O_o YAY!!!?

Just because I like to draw doesn't mean I can. ^_^

But I'm okay at writing.

Writer-artist type, I am. I don't suppose that I'm especially great at either art or writing, but I'm adequate at both. I mean, I got great scores on the essay portion of my English AP test last year, and I've placed in some art shows befoe, but I'm not exceptional at either. I sing too but I'm only ok at that too. I guess I should be grateful for having those gifts, but I'd rather be so good at something that people talk about it.

Everything I do is viewed as good enough to be considered good, but never amazing, excellent, or great...just 'good enough.'

Of the two, I'm a writer. However, most of what I've written lately has been mathematical.

The only real writing I really do at all is RPing. xD;;; I'm... okay at that. >_>;;;

I consider myself more of a drawer, although I still need tons of practice, but that's what I'm focusing on, I guess you could say. xD;;; Although I do try and improve my writing a bit, so the people reading my RP posts will... have less of a painful experience. xD;;;

if i could pick one, i'd say artist because i love to draw and stuff. however, i want to be a manga artist and if you want to be a mangaka, then you'd need write a story so i could also consider myself a writer.

I enjoy drawing more than writing, but am better at writing than at drawing.

However, I've noticed that I am not exceptional at either... :)
