Caught!
I FELT SO EMBARRASSED WHEN SHE CAUGHT ME LOOKING!! I try to take a sort of ‘mental photo’ of people so I can draw them later because I get pretty shy when I draw out in public XD There are just some people in this world that look like they would naturally fit into a fictional story coz THEY JUST GOT COOL STYLE YO! I don’t usually get caught though TmT;; she smiled at me so I GUESS she didn’t mind…*sighs*… Shane on the other hand is completely oblivious to most people unless something unusual happens, like…I don’t know, he sees someone crab walking down stairs while hissing or something…*JUST TAKING SCENES FROM THE EXORCIST*.
That is one thing I feel kinda lucky about, that with us both being asexual, I know that Shane’s not going to be checking anyone else out coz of the lack of attraction there UwU He also finds comfort in knowing I don’t do that too (unless it’s for my art!).
Can’t draw, but I can relate. I get caught staring because of jewelry or clothing, mostly. As a rule, if I find someone attractive, I have trouble looking at them. It’s shiny objects that get me.
That, or I’m trying to figure out their dimensions so I can figure out how to convert terms to numbers. You draw them. I get others to paint them in their own brains. I don’t have to do the heavy lifting, then, but I have to figure out how to set up the paint-by-numbers.
I still get nervous when I look at people for more than a couple of seconds, but I’m starting to get over it by figuring that if it looks like they put effort into their look for the day, they want to be looked at.
