I used to try to draw my girlfriends. I think one of the most romantic things that anybody can do is draw a portrait of the person you love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love to draw people's faces. I do that all the time.
I've got two girls, and they both make beautiful drawings. One of them really has a gift for the way that she colors around certain lines.
I used to always make art for girls. That was the thing I did for girls to like me. I did portraits, drawings, letters that formed outlines of significant things in our relationship. Art. I just used art in general. It usually worked.
Even though I'm usually not conscious of it, I think drawing has always served a sort of therapeutic purpose in my life. There's something about the process of translating the messy chaos of real life into a clean, simple drawing that's always been comforting to me.
As long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much.
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
I've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.
The portrait of my parents is a complicated one, but lovingly drawn.
I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn't getting anywhere - like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department - I would draw the other people.
Romanticizing the act of writing or any other art is not very helpful to the artist or the art. It's much better if one simply does.
