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 wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I used to do that! Then, really, I decided the paranoia that someone would actually read my words had a worse payoff, so back to pictures of random dresses and dudes.
I just want to reach the point where I'm "that chick" and no one thinks twice about it. Who knows? Maybe I'm the only one that cares.
I know that Betsy would needlepoint and do other crafts during meetings. I would never dare.
