The 23-year-old singer left the British boy band in March 2015 and in his upcoming autobiography 'Zayn' he has opened up about the experience of going through fan art which at times was crazy, reported Female First.
"When I was still in One Direction, fans would write stories based on me and the other lads and publish them online. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty unnerving reading things about yourself as a character from somebody else's imagination.
"It's crazy to think that we inspired so many different stories and the opportunity for so much creativity from so many people all over the world," he writes.
"My favourite stuff, personally, is fan art.
I love seeing how many different ways people interpret my lyrics and my style, and it's so cool that they share that with me.
"It's also weirdly touching to see how many talented people out there choose to apply that talent to something connected with me and my music. It's really humbling.
