My favourite sleeper

Siesta time!


Drawing people who do not know. Sleepers. Drawing with mildly adrenalin flavour. What if they wake up and discover? I know, it is a bit cheeky, taking a quick "snapshot" of someone's unconscious face, but how to resist the thrill!? (well, sleepers are mostly friends and family, so no real danger, but still...) The time pressure. Tossing and turning, changing the "pose" instantly, waking up any minute ...to discover ...what I have done!
Sometimes they do not discover :)
But then i can not keep the secret.
Disappointing is to learn that someone realised what was going on and started to pretend the sleep.
Fair play to those, who wake up and scare me :)

Shh!

I love to draw when nobody is watching...
