This is NOT for people who:

FAQs:

• Do I have to be nude to be a figure model? Not always, there are some figure drawing groups that like to draw clothed or costumed models, but the majority of them focus on drawing the nude figure.
• Do I need prior experience with figure modeling? No prior experience needed! You will be provided with the information you will need in order to become a figure model.
• Do I have to look a certain way or be a certain weight or height in order to be a figure model? No! If someone tells you that you can't be a figure model because you're short, or fat, or Black, or disabled, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT! Models come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities! Artists need a variety of diverse figure models in order to improve their drawing skills. They're not truly an experienced artist if they can only draw skinny/white/able-bodied people.
