None of the male models in the pose examples have any body hair. Is this a requirement?I’d like to model but shaving all the hair off my body would be a drag.
Absolutely not. See my FAQ page.
thank-you to the models who posed for these photos.
i’m taking a figure drawing class. it’s wonderful to have
live models to draw from when i’m not in class.
Thank-you!
hello. I’m learning how to draw human nude bodies, but none of the models do natural poses so I would lile to ask for some…is that possible?
My partner life drawing sites do not provide such photos. See http://artmodeltips.wpengine.com/models/poses/ for possible leads.
