A Question I've Never Asked

So, I know the title will seem like there's some deep question that I've always wanted to ask someone, but never have had the chance to. Not quite. The question I have is much more simple.

Can I draw you?

Now, let me first explain that if you ever catch me looking at you, squinting a little, I want you to know that I'm trying to draw you in my head. Or store the shape of your eyes into my memory bank for later use. I know it sounds a little creepy, but I'm an artist. It's how I roll.

Next. The reason I haven't asked the question. I don't know how to say it without coming across as interested in someone or insulting. I can't say it's a compliment, because that's not always the case. Sometimes the people I want to draw are just... interesting. Not ugly, but not drop dead gorgeous, either.

I sound really critical right now. I know. Let me just clarify that I do not judge people on their looks. I just find the composition of the human face fascinating and irresistible.
