How to be a nude model for an art class by AthenianPostbox

"Modeling was great for my confidence, and it's something I hope to continue to do, not only for the confidence-boost but also for the fun of it."

How I did it: I found a figure drawing class and contacted the overseer about modeling.  Very easy. :)  I was a little nervous at first when I was still in my robe, but once I got to posing, all the nerves went away and I was able to focus on giving the artists good material to work with.

Lessons & tips: Relax and have fun.  It's not every day you can spend a few hours naked while people paint your likeness.

Resources: My local art supply store had flyers for various life drawing classes--that's where I found this class.

AthenianPostbox is treating her body like a temple.

Do what comes natural. I generally ask the artists what they want to paint that day and draw my inspiration from that. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help. When we’ve done gesture drawings in the past, I did lots of action poses like I was dancing or doing a sport. Remember to keep your pose interesting and lively. Try to place your arms and legs at different levels, maybe one arm up, one down, one leg above the other, that sort of thing. After a while, you stop thinking about your movement and just move into what feels right.
