I tried doing it, but without consent...While my friend is taking up her drawing lessons in a gallery, I was busy doing some stuffs when suddenly an artist approach me and said, Hey! Can i sketch you? I didn't nod... I hate being sketched since I find myself really bad, but still he manage to draw me, without my knowledge I just saw him doing some finishing touches and putting signature in his drawing... I hate it! (But hey, the picture looks good huh?) How about you? Ever tried being one? Do you know friends who are nude models? Have you ever ask them the feeling of getting naked in front of a lot of artist during drawing sessions? Or are you an artist yourself?

Hurmmm... I never had an artist wanting to sketch me because I never met one...LOL.. However, there a lot of people I came across in my life that I would really want to sketch because they are so pretty. I came across this twin in the past and they were really pretty and one of them dresses like a bad girl and another dresses like a good girl. I don't know if they did it intentionally or unintentionally but I wish I could paint them.

My husband and I took our children, when they were teenagers to Lookout Mountain in TN. We sat for an artist to cut our silhouette from black paper. The pictures are exactly like us. We were amazed. They are framed and have been hanging in my living room ever since. I wanted to sit for one in New Orleans, LA, once, but we didn't have time, nor did I have the money. I do oil painting. I have lots of paintings in my home and my daughter has many of mine. I've sold a few and given away many more.
