01-23-2012. It's interesting (she ponders) how when you haven't seen someone for a decade or two, and you borrow them to sketch... how that old image of them keeps popping into your head and messes with your perception of them as they ARE. And it makes you look at the sketch as if you did it all wrong, when in fact all they did was GROW UP. This didn't happen so much for Emma, who looks pretty much exactly like she did in high school, but it was one of those thoughts that passed through my mind. So I thought I'd share. I have sketched some friends where the jump is big, and I keep looking at it in dissatisfaction... when everything is perfectly fine. Hm.... Guess you just have to let go and stop thinking....
