In school, I never really grasped drawing the nude form.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did some artistic nudes when I was I 8 with a French-Canadian photographer while I was modeling. They were beautiful shots, and they were not about nudity.
Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.
I loved drawing, but I just couldn't do it to the level that some of my friends could. That pulled me up unconsciously because I wanted to be like them, and I wanted to draw.
As long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much.
For me, drawing was an outlet. No one in school said, 'Oh, she can do sports,' or, 'She's pretty,' but I could draw.
When I was a kid, I never felt that what I was drawing really represented me; it was just something I enjoyed.
After a long period of not drawing, you have to, like, relearn how to draw. It's not very fun.
Lose your inhibitions about drawing and just do it.
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
Drawing was the only thing I was any good at in school, but I never dreamt I would, or even could, spend my life doing it.
