Art Session... Your Pick, Male or Female Nude Model?

[Anonymous]

Hypothetically, you have to take an art class... during one of the sessions, you will need to draw a nude model. The model can either be male or female, your pick.

Would you prefer to draw a nude male model or a nude female model? And WHY do you prefer that?

I would prefer a nude Male model.

I would prefer a nude Female model.

[redeyemindtricks]

I would totally pick the guy, and I would just tease the shit out of him the whole time... because fun!
I can't draw to save my life anyway -- like, seriously, even stick figures are a challenge -- so, I wouldn't even bother. I'd just fuck with the boy's head, like a properly evil little vamp.

I'd lick my lips, I'd suck on my fingers a little bit, maybe run a hand up my leg a little bit or do the Basic Instinct leg-crossing maneuver... ahaha
Basically, I'd just have the goal of making the boy embarrassingly hard, so that I could then just crack a satisfied smile, absentmindedly nibble (or suck) on my pencil a little, and... ignore him for a while.

Then, after a bit, I'd turn around my "drawing" and show it to him... and he'd see that I hadn't even been drawing at all. Instead, I'd just have written... "Try not to look so STIFF up there <3 <3 "

Then I'd just soak up his shocked reaction.

And then I'd leave early... and dance like a little girl on the way out. Hahaha...

Boys are fun.

:*

[Luci92]

This, is awesome! You are awesome ahaha.
You shoulda seen me at the beach today Red, I was in the zone, I'd just been introduced to a bunch of guys who were friends with the dude I was hanging out with, and I was putting it on real good. I didn't even take off my sunnies for most of it lmao.

[redeyemindtricks]

@Luci92 Excellent... Most excellent.

[Asker]

lol So you would purposely tease him the whole time just to get him erect and embarrassed?

[redeyemindtricks]

All in good fun. <3

There's a good kind of embarrassed and a bad kind of embarrassed, of course -- and MORE boys would probably be the bad kind, with this type of teasing without follow-through.

BUT... The kind of boy who'd be willing to pose nude for a bunch of art students -- for a pittance, if indeed for any fee at all -- would be a special kind of boy.
THAT type of boy would almost certainly be more likely to be the *good* kind of embarrassed. (:

[Asker]

Aww. haha I *almost* feel bad for the poor guy! You're going to tease and torment him while he has no choice but to hold his pose... the poor guy has no way to hide his erection, he just has to stand there exposed while everyone sees him slowly 'growing' and turning bright red.

[redeyemindtricks]

Yep. :*

But if he can stand up proud anyway... and not give the tiniest fraction of a shit... now THAT... that... is sexy as FUCK.

[Asker]

Aww, what if the poor boy gets embarrassed and starts blushing?

[redeyemindtricks]

You win some rounds of the game... you lose others. What fun is a game you win every time? <3

[somebodysaycheese]

I had to take life drawing elective. We had all old people. the bodies of old women where more diverse vs men. I felt more comfortable drawing a woman vs man cause im a woman. Which is more pleasing to the eye. Old women. But id think it may be different if they where young.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. If I may ask, did you feel at all awkward with a female nude model? Or you feltl perfectly comfortable with that? If they were younger, do you feel you would still prefer a female? Or then you might prefer a male?

[somebodysaycheese]

I fely more comfortable with a female since that is what i am. It's like they have what i have. I think i still be uncomfortable with a male model a bit but its whatever

[Asker]

Thanks. I know what you mean. Just curious, when you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, did you ever feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it didn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[somebodysaycheese]

No it didn't bother me at all

[Asker]

Okay. So last question... would you ever consider modeling yourself?

[somebodysaycheese]

Nooooo

[Elarra]

Men are very blocky and I would lose interest too fast in drawing. I'd rather draw a female model.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. Just curious, would you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or would you be perfectly comfortable with it?

[Elarra]

Nah, comfortable. I have an artistic mind naturally, so when I see a naked person I just see them as they are. Nudity doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[Asker]

I see. So out of curiousity, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[dissolute_dog]

Female model. :P

I don't think I'd be bothered by a naked dude, though, but to seriously make a drawing or painting --- like for an art class --- requires a LOT of time and effort, because you have to pore over every little physical detail of whatever it is that you are drawing/painting (at least, that's how I felt when I had to draw and paint anything for art class in high school).

And the fact is that it just wouldn't be fun or at all interesting for me to look at another dude that closely. xDDD

I imagine a moment like zis

Why? Easily #1 because I'm Hetero and only attracted to females. #2 Because the female body is so amazing to me, and that goes beyond the sexual organs or assets.

[Phoenix98]

If I "had" to I'd choose female and because they're more artistically pleasing and symmetrical if they adhere to the golden/divine ratio.

FYI I am an actual art apprentice/student in real life and don't do stuff like this not my area, plus I;m terrible at drawing people unless they're cartoons lol.

[SayukiX]

I'd choose a male model.

I already know what a female looks like, I can examine myself in the mirror any time but a male? It's not wrong to collect as many data as I can when it's the sort of data that isn't as readily available to me.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. So would you feel at all awkward examining and drawing a nude male model? Or you would feel completely comfortable with it?

[SayukiX]

I would be completely fine; I won't feel awkward at all. Maybe a little frightened because there are parts that I don't have and they still pose a mystery to me but I'll be fine with it being my drawing reference.

[vonasaurus]

depends~ i suck at drawing men, so i could make things easier on myself by going with a female model. or maybe being awful at drawing men means i should go with a male model... decisions, decision lol.

[Asker]

I see. So which would you prefer? Would you prefer to study the female form or the male form?

[vonasaurus]

i think both are art, though i think it would depend on the specific project.

[Anonymous]

I'd draw a naked lady model, but I probably can't draw good or make drawing as good compared to the way Jack did for Rose in that Titanic movie.

Wait! You didn't say we have to draw a picture of a "live" nude model? If that's true then maybe I can just copy from a centerfold of a nude model from some magazine then? :-P

[Chico_brah]

I posed nude for an art class earlier this semester lol. I'm also jacked AF so I guess it was more appealing than your average dude. If it was a bodybuilder I'd choose to draw him (no homo). If it was a normal dude versus a female. Obv female.

[CheerGirl38139]

I think the nude female form is "prettier" for lack of a better word.

#NoHomo

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. I know what you mean. If I may ask, would you feel at all awkward with a female nude model? Or you would feel perfectly comfortable with that?

[CheerGirl38139]

Im in no way attracted to girls sexually at all, so tbh, I think it would be less awkward than a nude male. *Beacuse* I am attracted to guys... if that makes any sense.

Plus, I've seen tons of naked girls. LOL.

[Asker]

I know what you mean! lol So let me ask, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[CheerGirl38139]

not at all. I have a friend that does lingerie modeling, etc on the side part-time. If that girl didn't have to wear clothes, she wouldn't. She doesn't give a damn. Male photographers and others see her wearing next to nothing all the time.

[Asker]

Thanks. Would you ever consider modeling?

[CheerGirl38139]

i do some but not the stuff she does

[Asker]

Ohh. So you do like lingerie, bra and panties, that kind of thing? But not nude you mean?

[CheerGirl38139]

I've only done that for like a couple bridal shows. the photo shoots I've done have been fashion and bridal gowns brides maids dresses, etc

[CheerGirl38139]

i don't have a problem with nudes, but I don't want to do them. And tbh I don't have the boobs for lingerie even if I wanted to do it

[CheerGirl38139]

Why did you feel you needed to go anon on this question?

[Asker]

I'm not sure. I guess it's just an 'out there' question and I don't need to get creepy messages from guys asking me about being nude. lol

[CheerGirl38139]

LOL yeah well thats exactly why I feel like I've said all I need to say about modeling here

[LaurenGrace]

I found drawing females more fun to draw when i was doing art as part of my beauty therapy uni course.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. What made female models more fun? Anything in particular?

[LaurenGrace]

Thr softness off their shape the female is quite devine

[Asker]

I see. Did you find it at all awkward to have a nude female model? Or you were perfectly comfortable with it?

[LaurenGrace]

Not at all im bi so i was good she had a nice curvey toned figure which was nceto look at

[Asker]

Ohh. So just curious, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[LaurenGrace]

No. were are all adults and you have to have abit of maturity and professionslism about the situation

[Asker]

I see. So would you ever model?

[LaurenGrace]

Lol would it surprise anyone if i said that i had?

[Red_Arrow]

It certainly would not surprise me. And I was chuckling at the questions the Asker was asking you, knowing how you would answer. :-)

[falafelany1]

I have drawn a nude woman before and breasts are pretty fun to draw. The female figure is prettier I think.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. What made boobs fun to draw? lol Did you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or you felt perfectly comfortable with it?

[falafelany1]

It was strange at first but I have seen a good number of naked women and I am a woman so the form was not shocking to me. Boobs are interesting things, aren't they? I don't know I just liked drawing them. After a while it didn't faze me. I have never seen a man naked in person before so that's a different story haha.

[Asker]

Yes, I suppose boobs are kind of interesting. So you have never seen a male nude? So just curious, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[scaramouche]

female. Cause I'm so much better in drawing female, and I wanna achieve the best, be the best if it's an art class.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. In what way are you better at drawing a female? And just curious, would you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or would you be perfectly comfortable with it?

[scaramouche]

I have no problem with nude male model. We have to draw both male and female in Human Body Sketching Foundation class, so I know for sure I'm better with female figure, especially since now I'm majoring in Womenswear Fashion Design. I take longer (or forever) to achieve a perfect shading and everything with male model, I guess it's because I'd only drawn female ever since I was a kid, so I'm better at it.

[Asker]

I see. How did you draw models as a kid?

[Luci92]

I find the female form much more interesting to draw, and would be more comfortable with the model too.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. Any particular reason you find it easier to draw and more comfortable?

[Luci92]

I like the curves, and I guess it's easier because I'm a girl too.

[Asker]

I understand. Just curious, would you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or would you be perfectly comfortable with it?

[starliteyes]

It would be less distracting to draw a woman. I also feel like I'd have a better natural sense of how to draw a female body.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. I know what you mean. If I may ask, would you feel at all awkward with a female nude model? Or you would feel perfectly comfortable with that?

[starliteyes]

I wouldn't feel awkward if she didn't.

[Asker]

I see what you mean. So let me ask, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[starliteyes]

I wouldn't care xD

[Asker]

Thanks. Would you ever consider modeling?

[starliteyes]

Nude modeling? I guess you could say I kinda do it for a living lol

[Asker]

Ohh. You are a nude model? Or a stripper?

[starliteyes]

Camgirl

[Hidden_P]

Female.

In the most delicate way, in terms of drawing, females are more... Compact. And there is less room for potential insult.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. I understand why you would prefer a female model. If I may ask, would you feel at all awkward with a female nude model? Or you would feel perfectly comfortable with that?

[Hidden_P]

This will sound a little weird.

Normal situations I would feel awkward. An artistic situation where it's about the shape of the female form, the model does not bother me.

HOWEVER.

I have a real thing about body hair. I believe it goes back to my mum - she used to walk around the house, do the washing, etc totally nude (yes in front of my brothers). Sadly, when I was washing, she would come in and use the toilet. One issue - being mega OCD she wouldn't sit, she hovered. Not only did I see her hair situation but I saw everything else too. For me, public hair is a HUGE turn off.

I would only feel uncomfortably if she had pubes.

[Asker]

Very interesting. So let me ask, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[Hidden_P]

Not at all.
I would be focused on my work, my drawing. If the guys get turned on that's not my issue, but every artist should be focused on the same thing - creating the best picture

[mermaidrocketship]

Female. I'd feel super awkward if a naked man walked out and I had to look at him and draw all of his cracks and crevices.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. So would you feel at all awkward with a female nude model? Or you would feel perfectly comfortable with that?

[mermaidrocketship]

I'd still feel awkward. But more so with someone who doesn't have the same parts as me. I feel like I'd stare a ton. Lol.

[Asker]

I know what you mean. Just curious, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[mermaidrocketship]

Not sure about that one. I'd probably just assume everyone else in the room was more mature and able to handle random naked people, though. I don't think it would bother me about what guys thought.

[SarahsSummer]

I've had art classes with models. Women are easier to draw.

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. What made women easier to draw for you? Just curious, did you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or you were perfectly comfortable with it?

[SarahsSummer]

I actually felt more comfortable with the female model. Women have smoother curves, lines. Men are more complicated, muscle tone, bigger thighs etc and then there's the body hair..., and I felt awkward looking at a naked guy that wasn't my naked guy. Actually my naked guy let me draw him one night.

[Asker]

I see. So just curious, if you were in a class with both male and female artists and a nude female model, would you feel awkward at all that the guys were seeing a nude woman? Or it wouldn't bother you at all that the other guys in class were examining a nude female?

[SarahsSummer]

Nah, we were all just focused on doing our work. Besides, I'm not sure what your experience is but they're NOT hot models where I was. Lol.

[Asker]

Ohh I see. lol So would you ever model?

[SarahsSummer]

No. lol. Not for me. I wouldn't, couldn't be comfortable sitting there for an hour at a time.

[Asker]

You mean you wouldn't be comfortable sitting still? Or you wouldn't be comfortable sitting nude? lol

[SarahsSummer]

Yes. That's right.

[SarahsSummer]

😊😊❣️

[redeyemindtricks]

@SarahsSummer
"Men are more complicated, muscle tone, bigger thighs etc"

^^ Not to be an annoying nitpicker, but... it's interesting that you'd mention "bigger thighs". Thighs -- along with hips and buttocks -- are pretty much the only body parts that AREN'T, on average, bigger on guys.
(The average men's and women's thigh circumferences are within something like 0.1 inch of each other.)

__

The 3 biggest differences, percentage-wise, between men's and women's bodies are (1) the width of their hands, (2) the size of their upper arms, and (3) how much smaller our waists are.
#1 is the single biggest difference. Try having yr boyfriend get a women's bangle over his hand sometime, and you'll see. (:

[SarahsSummer]

@redeyemindtricks I'm just speaking from my own experience drawing models. and my overall experience was that women were easier to draw.

[redeyemindtricks]

ahha I can't even draw stick figures. I'll just take yr word for it... lol

[frerardsprincess]

Females are easier and I don't wanna have to draw some guys weird looking dick and balls women are just smooth and easier

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. Any particular reason you say females are easier to draw? Just curious, would you feel at all awkward with a nude female model? Or you would feel completely comfortable?

[frerardsprincess]

I don't know for me its just easier and more natural maybe because I'm a female and am used to the way female bodies work and move. I wouldn't be awkward really because I'm a female too so the female body isn't a huge deal to me if its just for art not in a sexual way

[abc3643]

I don't ever want to see a real life penis other than mine (or a baby grandson's while changing diapers) ever again.

[IsraelJordan]

Id rather draw a naked dude. I think it would be more fun to draw a muscular guy. Like Greek statues and shit

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. If you don't mind me asking, would you say you are bi/gay? Or are you straight?

[IsraelJordan]

Im straight, i just don't mind nudity. It's normal.

[DodgersGM]

It'd be really interesting to do one of each. The dimorphism would present an interesting challenge.

[AhGojira]

Females are easier to draw... It's going to be a less interesting piece of art, but an easier grade in an art class you're required to take...

[reixun]

Female because I cannot draw the male body at allll

[Asker]

Thanks for replying. So I assume you have drawn both?

[reixun]

Yeah, I can't do males. Their power and muscles aren't captured well in drawing. But women are softer with curves lines so they're easier.

[Asker]

I see. So if you could draw them equally well, would you still prefer a female model?

[reixun]

I'd wanna do guys, I'm ready to look at deltoids all day
https://i.imgur.com/snHFCdI.jpg

[Asker]

haha So if you could draw them equally well, you would prefer to draw a nude male model?

[reixun]

Yup, slight preference for male aesthetic.

[Asker]

Ohh, so you just enjoy the male form... or you like seeing males nude? Or both? lol

[reixun]

I think muscular and slender male bodies are beautiful non sexually too.

[Asker]

So I assume you are fully comfortable with seeing male models nude? And you are comfortable drawing his whole anatomy? lol

[reixun]

Artsy dicks, I don't know how uncomfortable I'd be but I'm ready to draw a dick as long as it's hard. Limp dicks seem difficult to draw.

[Asker]

limp dicks. lol
