I dreaded this week. I forced myself to go ahead and do it anyway - because it's good to do things that make you uncomfortable sometimes. But I ended up hating doing it as much as I feared I would. Drawing animals at the zoo is fun. They are used to being stared at all day. Drawing people in a coffee shop makes me feel like a Creepy Person. And not just drawing - Blind Contour Drawing of all things. So I'm not even looking down at my paper. I'm just staring at a stranger and drawing in my little book. CREEEPY PERSON. So ya - I just have too many social anxiety issues to enjoy this project. But I did it.
To avoid being too much of a creepy person I mostly drew people's backs and people who were sitting outside (foolishly I chose a seat with a bad view of the people outside - so those drawings are kinda cramped) Anyway - It's done. I don't have to worry about it anymore. Moving on to next week - drawing from photos - nice and comfortable!
