Normally when I sketch I don't really draw that much attention. Occasionally I'll look up and realize that someone is watching me, but they normally go back to their own lives and we never interact. Today I looked up from my sketchbook and into the face of an older gentlemen who gave me look of disdain and shook his head as he looked back to his newspaper. I didn't think much of it until later when I realized that all he could see was these two drawings. On opposing pages of my sketchbook there were two drawings of women's legs and feet. He must have thought that I was a fetishist or something! Lesson learned on that one I guess.

These foot drawings are super. Fetishes aside, what a great way to draw a stranger--and something beside heads and shoulders!
Bette thinks the legs are sexy and would like to see the rest of her.
She was very skinny and tall, and very "hippie-chick." I wish I had had time to get to the pattern on the skirt, it was this bold floral peasant skirt looking print.
