I only did it once – yes, nude – and I wasn’t very good at it. It was still kind of fun, though! Something different.
How to model for an art class
It made me
feel courageous 
"You should go for it!""
How I did it: I had been curious about artists modelling for years. One day when I was in university, I saw a note at my gym - a school was looking for models.
They had me visit first, to see what was expected. The instructor made me draw the model too, which showed me that the students were looking for patches of light and dark. In essence, the model was a more interesting version of a bowl of fruit. That made me feel more comfortable with getting nakes in front of strangers.
Lessons & tips: Bring a robe or sweats. I prefer sweats - something that you can pull on and off quickly. If you don't wear undergarments to the job, you won't have lines on your body when you get there. If you feel you do need to, don't worry about the lines.
Bring a big towel or blanket, water, a snack, and maybe a yoga mat, or a cushion.
Know that all body types are great for artists to draw - ripped, young, old, fat, thin.
In advance, think of some poses you can use. Try them at home. Find out what types of poses you can hold for how long. You will be surprised to learn how quickly some poses become very difficult. Think of standing, sitting, and lying poses.
Poses that show more of the body are useful, as are poses that twist the body a little.
Do poses that you are comfortable with.
Remember that you are in control, so only do what you are comfortable doing.
Sometimes for a painting or sculpting class, people might want to photograph you. ***People should ask before photographing you. If you do not want to be photographed, that is okay - speak up. Keep in mind that after those pictures are taken, you have no control over them.

this whole health situation will free my mind to really do this when I am healed and get my body back in shape. Along with the belly dancing.

The Other Side

I have been drawing pretty much all of my life, and fell in love with the human form when I first attempted to capture its beauty at age 16 . They (fellow arteests and teachers) say one should try it from the other perspective and pose..in the buff. I hope to accomplish this some day but it may be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng time.

it’s nice to feel like you’re someone’s muse… also, making money for just sitting still-not bad
