Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm guessing the hard core of second-hand shoppers are going elsewhere.
Yeah, we're going to Etsy and eBay.
Jilli, do you sell via Craig's List or etsy or what?
I sell via LJ, but I get an insane amount of traffic on my LJ. But there are also LJ communities for just about every type of fashion out there.
I'm too afraid to draw people for fear they'll notice it and get offended. I generally only draw people I see at cafés or public places where they're distracted enough not to notice me doing it.
I get entirely self-conscious when people pay attention to what I'm drawing. I should be flattered when they say nice things, but I hear "You must really have been paying attention to your drawing to get it to come out like that." What am I going to tell them? That it sucks?
But sometimes I just need to get stuff out of my visual centres, and that doesn't happen too often recently, so I jump on it when it does.
I'm a geometric doodler. The only way I can NOT doodle is to put down the pen, and then I can't take notes (and believe me, you want me taking notes if I'm supposed to be listening to you). I can't make a realistic representation of anything, that's one of those magical abilities I envy no end.
More power to you! I wish I were less inhibited. Inhibition hasn't done me too much good in life. I hope to make it to some future Dr. Sketchy LA events but if I end up being so broke I can't even afford that, I'll need to get over myself and start sketching people in public places.
Wait, what?
JOHNSON. Whoops.

Totes. I usually only do it at airports and really crowded places. In meetings I just decide to draw a hairline or an angle of a head from someone. Risking actually capturing a likeness (not exceptionally likely with my current rustiness) would be horrifically embarrassing.
I like this project to draw all the people in New York: [link]
Well, that is quite a pedigree. She's designing jeans that Oprah likes, or so my random e-mailed ads tell me. Said jeans do not come in my size, alas.
I never drew in meetings, I wrote drabbles instead. That way it at least looks like I'm taking notes assiduously.
Neat!
