I frequently draw other people when I’m in waiting rooms or in a cafe. Most of the time nobody acknowledges my presence, or if they do, we exchange slight nods or smiles. This time, I did not notice a woman who was watching me as I was drawing a fellow waiting room waiter. She attracted my attention and, with gestures, asked me to draw her! I tried very carefully to create a passable likeness. She seemed pleased when I showed her the results.
