The actually most embarrassing life drawing thing I've experienced was unrelated to me tho.
The model was this autistic fat sperg that couldn't be still for a second. The teacher gave us portrait assignments, and he got nervous and began to touch his face and shit.
I've also heard rumors about other people who had that guy that he has gotten erections and shit while modelling.
He doesn't really get hired for that shit any more tho.

It's never happened in any of mine (that I'm aware of).
I know that the guy that holds one of the classes has been hit on by a model, but afaik it never went anywhere.

Figure drawing sessions are generally not very sexual.
But I was hard as a fucking rock when a model brought a female friend of hers and they modelled together. With skin on skin contact.

Boy I wish. I draw the best figures 95% of the time at all the figure drawing spots I go to, It's been that way for years. Everyone is usually fawning over me and passing my shit around during the break.

I've never fucked the model. But I barely even talk to anyone. You also have to be socially adept for this to even have a chance of working. To be honest, I rarely see anyone hitting on the model even when she is good looking.

I wasn't embarrassed but the model was. It was obviously her first time:

>reluctant to undress at first
>stiff-ish poses
>older wizened artist there giving her tips in-between sessions

After the first couple ones she had loosened up which was nice. But she was trying really expressive poses so that, combined with the bright lights on her made her sweat like a pig. Like uncomfortably so. Also she had a habit of smiling really wide, like a serial killer (I don't know why). She was stared right at me and it made me really uncomfortable, but that's probably just because I was a beta.

Being able to do duo poses is a rare treat, and they only did it for the duration of the croquis (20 minutes of various short poses). for the rest of the day for the long pose they separated into two, the guy just doing a normal sitting down one for those who wanted to do portraits, and the woman took a more gestural standing pose and so no more boners were had.

It was quite embarrassing, especially for the guy and he was really apologetic about it after the 20 minutes, but the atmosphere in a figure drawing class (especially one with mostly older people) is as such that boners and other bodily functions aren't really that big of a deal (if you ever get a really old person to model, things can get a bit funky down there with "drippage" and whatnot=. It's just part of the human body that you sometimes can't really do anything about.

The guy actually holds his own figure drawing sessions where he does paired nude poses
with some other girl. I guess he got inspired.

I haven't had anything out of the ordinary happen to me (yet) but sometimes I get turned on thinking about if any of the guys around me are getting boners. Like when we get a really cute model I'm always trying to scan the crotches in the room for boners.

Guys don't need to be looking at naked women to be thinking lewd things. If you see a distracted guy sitting around somewhere, could be in class, public transport, his mind is probably wandering through dirty stuff.

photos are great to learn from, and if you have the money there's some really good stuff out there. Drawing from life is another thing on it's own though. Cameras distort things and don't see the way we do so you run into a lot of photos where the proportions are slightly messed up. With Life drawing you also get a whole lot of average, "ugly" and stumpy bodies which really challenges your understanding of the human body. And having the 3D person in front of you gives you a much stronger feeling of depth and the ability to move around at a whim.

I feel really fortunate that the classes I go to are filled with decent people. They're mostly old liberals but they aren't toxic and extreme the way most are today.

It's not exactly a loss of libido. I've seen cases of depressed people who are either virgins or have sex very rarely. When they finally get the opportunity, instead of blowing their load early like the cliche ordains, they actually can't do much of anything. I've heard it's not uncommon.

So, not so much directly from not having sex, but more for psychological and physiological reasons tangetially related to not having sex.

Have you ever seen the documentary Crumb? There's a scene where his fucked up brother says he no longer has sexual urges. I definitely believe him, given all the other things in context. Although he might have been in his 50s, so that has a bit of an effect. He kills himself soon after.

Well, that's the goal. Most guys have a breaking in period with live models, where they have to get over the "OMG BOOBS" aspect, and go into art mode, where it's not sensual or erotic. Most do, some don't. It's pretty normal for guys and girls to be a little bit idiotic about it, the first couple of weeks - guys getting boners, girls getting embarrassed by a swinging dick. I talked to one of my figure drawing teachers about it once, if he tailored the models around it, and he said "Fuck no, I want them to get over that shit as fast as possible. I need them to, or they need to drop the class, it's too disruptive".
I've been able to switch that part of my brain off from pretty early on - I wasn't a virgin when I took my first figure drawing class, so the first model wasn't my first exposure to a naked person. It was kind of weird, for a little while, then it just became part of the art process. I always laugh when I see comments here of guys having to jerk off while drawing, that tells me they're not really artists, or trying to be artists, they're voyeurs, abusing art for their own selfish needs. I disregard them as static. They don't bring anything meaningful to the table other than monkey level behavior. Monkey see boobs, monkey jerk off. If you can't grow past that emotionally, then...well...don't know what to tell ya. You're not gonna be an artist, that's for sure. Granted, that's the kind of person who will never draw a male figure, because they think it makes them gay - they're just little trolls who are abusing art as a free form of Hustler magazine, the kind of creep our teachers would run out of class on the first day back in school. That 4chan is stuffed to the gills with them is hardly surprising, it just makes real discussion of art and art education almost impossible here.
Shit happens, though. You can be in figure drawing all semester, and that one model comes along who just wrecks it for you. We're all human.

It happens. It happened twice, in my classes. They just take a break. Farts happen, too. Stomach growls. Muscle spasms. It's the human body, it does shit, without regard to context, it can be appalling or hilarious. :)
Erect nipples are always fun. Then some dork will lisp "She's horny, dude!" No, asshole, it's just cold. Learn how nipples work.
I never had anything embarrassing happen to me personally, but i saw some funny shit:

>Little old lady takes figure drawing course. Spends most of her time very carefully drawing bathing suits on the models, male and female
>Life sculpture course. Dude refuses to approach model with calipers, after the teacher tells him to. Takes dude by the hand, and forces him to approach her and measure her. Model is cracking up. He starts nervously trying to measure her, she goes "eeek!" when he almost touches her, he almost faints, she's laughing so hard falls out of the pose, has to leave on a break to let everyone calm down. Go out back with her and the other smokers and have a cigarette and makes bets on his virginity and lack of experience with women. (She's an okay looking middle aged woman, very cool.)
>Older male model, 50's, in pretty good shape physically, gets erection. Freshman girl runs from class, probably her first encounter with a raging boner.
>Girl in class volunteers to model, when the contracted model doesn't show. Gets naked, decent if skinny body. Does pretty well. Goes around to look at everyone's drawings, starts crying. (It's fine, later on she explains it was just an overwhelming experience.)

not him but think about it: every black majority country or even city or even neighborhood or even school in the world is a disaster zone, with rampant poverty, violence, illiteracy, and decrepitude. Black people who live in white-majority areas know that the place is nice DESPITE them, and know implicitly that, if they were ever to take it over, it would turn into Detroit or Zimbabwe.

All black people know this. The resentment against whites isn't due to any oppression that whites are consciously levying against blacks; it's the subtle oppression of making them feel like inferior outsiders living in white countries on the charity of their hosts.

I knew a guy from my art school who married one of the female models and even had a kid with her.

She was pretty cool though. She modeled even when she was pregnant but in a leotard.

One of our fat female models would fall asleep and start snoring during 20 minute sessions. The class was trying so hard not to laugh.

We had a fair share of reoccurring models at my art school. This was 8-10 years ago

There was one model we called Drippy Pete, because no matter what pose he was in, he had a string of precum dangling from his dick.

There was aother guy we called Berries n Cream. It was when Starbust came out with those stupid "I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream" commercials. This guy was an old wrinkly emaciated looking guy with a mullet of white hair. We called him Berries n Cream because he always did weird catlike poses like sticking his ass up in the air or doing whimsical jester poses. No matter what pose he did, his fucking balls that stretched down to the floor would swing side to side.

There was Running Man, who was a oiled bald waxed muscular guy. He had a pleasing body to look at, but his poses were boring as fuck. Like posing with one arm up and one leg up, like he's running, but not really. He also had a Prince Albert.

Basically every male model had something weird with their dick or balls.

In 4th grade I drew a picture of the Powerpuff girls naked in a bathtub. Somehow it got away from me and everybody in the cafeteria saw it. Just passed it around that big long lunch table like it was a classroom handout

Holy shit, now I kinda wished my professor wasn't so based with getting us girls like 90% of the time.

Our professor told us he had a model who was a first timer, some young guy. He was bashful to get up in front and was stressed out so our professor told the guy to relax while the class to take 5.

Professor came back into the room to the guy still naked and smoking a joint out the studio window in order to "relax". Professor was so mad that he yanked him back inside and chewed his ass out.

So I just found out that a group of people in the medical artist course at my uni are holding free figure drawing sessions once every 2 weeks. I've never been figure drawing before so could you guys pls help.

1. Do I just sit down quietly and draw or am I supposed to greet people? What do I say? It'd be nice to meet some other artists irl but idk if I'd be disturbing them.

2. Does my skill level matter? I assume that most of them will be better than me since they're becoming scientific/medical artists.

3. What tools should I bring? Is a pencil and sketchbook fine?

4. It's like 3 hours long, is it considered rude to leave early?

>> No.3327341

>>3327332
Just say hello and get down to drawing. Hang around if they start chatting or introducing themselves.
No, your skill level doesn't matter but maybe if they have to pay the model for their time, you should pitch in especially if you're not one of the medical students.
Yes, pencil and a sketchbook are fine.
No, no one consider it rude.

Been to two non-student oriented figure drawing circles, and it's pretty chill, even if it was awkward because most of the people attending were 50+ year old men.
