they say it’s bad for you

Sometimes I would be in an acting workshop and we’d be given a game to wander about instinctively, with abandon, and whilst writhing along the floor, I’d think – how lucky to be an actor and get away with this. If I did it in the street or along the top deck of a bus, I could be carted off and given heavy tranquilisers.

My dad keeps telling me I don’t draw legs. I think it’s because I draw everything in close up or mid shot. But today I thought again, OK lets do legs and only legs.
