| I asked this young woman if I could draw her portrait while she worked in the fax room. She agreed, but kept standing up to peer over my pad every few seconds to see how it was going. I didn't like the way it was going myself, primarily because she refused to sit still and frequently made remarks like "my eyes are too big" and "What did you do to my mouth?" Finally I realized that she was more often looking over the edge of the pad than she was seated at the desk. So I covertly made this drawing on a different page but would switch back to the other drawing frequently, so she would always have the other one to complain about. Unlike the first drawing, this one is a good likeness of her. |
