I have embarressed myself more than once doing this. I find myself trying to commit their image to memory, and I get so wrapped up in the effort that I don't notice that others have noticed my focused attention. When it is the subject who notices and is bothered by it, I feel awful. They probably think I am a stalker or psychotic of some sort! I am too embarressed to chase after them and explain that I am simply an artist who found them facinating. That always comes out sounding like I am a psychotic of some sort!!

I love checking out their ears! Some women's ears are sooooo perfect. Others are not. Same goes for their noses, mouths, eyes, etc. But something about ears turns me on.

I've recently started portrait drawing but haven't been around many people, but I imagine that when I get out I will notice. I hope I don't stare. Yes, we are studying parts of the face most intently. Eyes are captivating to me.
