I enjoy drawing off the top of my head. For a while that was all I did, but lately I start to get a bit sick of myself. After a while, all the sketches start to look about the same—everyone stands slightly to the side and are a bit nefarious. So, lately this is the point when I'll start drawing from photos or spend some extra time in the comic shop looking for something new. Yesterday I took the train down to the city to meet a friend and decided to do some life drawing. I start to feel very conspicuous drawing in public. I think the trick is to draw people that are totally off in their own world. Inevitably there is always the one guy who keeps staring right at you. And that is creepy. (notice that guy on the right)
