"No. I have drawn a lady and a man. Both of them are really good. I don’t know if they were nervous but they looked like they done it 100 times before. How they stayed in a position for a full hour, I will never know. "Much trickier to do than it sounds, I bet. | |||

"I’ve done it. We all took turns at art school. Some did better than others, and a few turned it into a bit of a side gig and made some money modelling." Was this the teachers idea by any chance? | |||

"Was this the teachers idea by any chance?" Oh no, not at all. Something we did off our own bat, in our own time. No tutors involved. Extra-curricular, if you like. | |||

"It’s absolutely not a sex thing. Life drawing’s about improving your sketching skills. It’s a really powerful learning tool. I suppose unless you specifically set out for it to be a sexual thing and everyone involved is on board with that. (I have been to Dr Sketchy’s, which mixes up life drawing, burlesque, music and booze to very entertaining effect.)" That sounds like a great night night out. I'm Googling that  | |||

"Was only thinking about this the other day, really fancy doing it. Not sure whether anyone would want to paint me though
"Models are often in short supply, and it gets slightly boring drawing the same people all the time. The point of life drawing is to draw real people in all their wonderful variety, no group would ever say no to a new model. Practise a few interesting poses beforehand and they'll be inviting you back. | |||

"There is a drag artist life drawing session that runs in Colchester (also mixed with alcohol), such a good laugh. | |||

"… and it’s quite hard because you need to remain still, even your eyes. " Not necessarily. Sketching people in motion is a thing as well. We often used to use dancers for that very reason. | |||

"I did once but it was for my uncle. He said he was shy about not being very good at drawing so wanted do it in private at his place. He was right about being crap, when I looked at the end it just looked like he’d spilled his glue on the page. Still, £20 richer." | |||

"I work as a life drawing model. It's a handy side gig that pays cash. It's not sexy at all and does require an ability to relax and hold still for quite a while but if your into it it's a nice way to make a few quid." It's not even sexy in your mind? Not even if a beautiful lady is staring intently at you? | |||

Being perfectly still is an inside thing and its really a meditation. I'm not looking for distraction. | |||

Sounds boring (and it is at the start) but it is incredibly relaxing when you finally let your mind go. | |||
