Usually I draw people who are doing something . They are occupied and unlikely to see me drawing them. The woman below wasn’t doing anything. I didn’t know if she was staring straight ahead, if the was asleep, or if she noticed me as I sketched. I had to look at her though. I kept peeking up, hoping she wasn’t watching me, wondering if she would be angry if she knew I was making her portrait.
