Went out drawing with dad

[gem2niki]

Today, I went driving with my dad to pick up my new glasses. Afterward we drove around the Vietnamese community area of San Jose = Tully, King and Story Rd. During those time, I've attempted to draw while he was driving in congested traffics, shopping and eating at a restaurant. It's so hard to draw walking and not looking retarded.

Don't you hate it when people stare at you when you're trying to draw them?? o_O!!!

They look at me suspiciously and I try to avoid eye contact and look at another direction. I filled up 2 spreads of my moleskin at least :) We also drove around downtown hoping to see if there was any Chinese New Year parade...but I guess there weren't any. But I'm definitely going to walk around downtown with my sis and draw the area. Some nice buildings we have there.

We were discussing about the economy and suicide. Man its so depressing!!! T_T;;

Now I gotta finish work stuff T_T;;

I agree, I've tried sketching/drawing people on the monorail once and everyone kept staring back at me, as if I wanted to rape their babies or something... ^^;; Oh well, I guess the local culture where I come from is just really paranoid about people trying to draw them. =I
