Have you ever been drawn...

[Kitty]

cool!

I told my (rather conservative) daughter that I thought it would be an interesting experience to be drawn.

she made a face and said, "not like Titanic!" and I was thinking, "yes like Titanic!"

Oh yes I forget that scene.

HAWT. *giggle*

to be drawn?
Ever see "Titanic"? ("draw me like one of your French girls")
There is something intensely erotic about being drawn (or painted) — being studied, intensely, passionately. Not the detached, analytical, mechanical "study" drawing, but one of inspiration and desire.

There is something intensely erotic about creating that sort of drawing (painting) as well.

Many of my own drawings tend toward the more academic end of the spectrum, but I always try to keep some sort of empathy, at least, for the model, even if I am not "attracted".

or, some that follow.

I've only been drawn a few times from photos, unless you count a caricature.

Something that happened in high school may have picked up on my exhibitionist side before I knew about it. A complete stranger (female) asked if she could take some black and white photos of me wearing my favorite black velvet dress for a photography class project. She did, and I still treasure those photos. Not long after that I moved, and found out that a male artist friend had drawn my portrait from one of those photos and gave it to my best friend as a memento I suppose. 15 years after that she mailed it to me. I love it.

This. Yes. This. Would be an awesome experience.

There is indeed something quite personal about a drawing or painting, even if there is the "disconnect" of being "once removed" (created from a photo), because it is crafted by hand.

Also one feels good/flattered when asked to model.

In college I met a girl who did fantastic drawings of people. I complimented her many times on her work and she asked if she could draw me. At first it was just faces, then body, and finally she asked to draw me nude. I thought it might be uncomfortable but we were friends and it turned out to be such a totally comfortable experience. She kept two drawings and gave me two. I wonder whatever happened to them; I haven't thought about them for years.

Was that one session or over a period of time?

Being a "comfortable experience" would you say there was no sexual tension?

Most of my life drawing experiences (as the one drawing) have been "non-sexual" (academic) though there is still that shared intimacy. Of course the times that were one-on-one the intimacy was more acute — for the most part those times have been also non-sexual. (except the few times which were not)

oh?

Good.

 

[THROBBS]

I have not done a large scale nude since.....hmmmm...
college, maybe.

I do like these ease of set up, the immediacy and intimacy of smaller work, but now and again some imagery wants to have more "presence".

Only one (not very large — 24" x 32") is framed and hanging in the house.

 

[THROBBS]

I've seen depictions of people who felt/believed that photographs steal one's soul...or take a portion of it.

It seems to me that there is a bit more "voodoo"/"sorcery" in creating a drawing or painting from life — the study, the attempting to "draw-out" (pun intended) the essence of the subject is far more active than photography.

breathing in beauty through my eyes.

but need to use all my senses to capture the subtleties

 

[Mayberrygirl]

Yes... I have.

 

[maybei1der]

nope, not that I know of

 

[THROBBS]

Yes... I have.

You could extrapolate.

√ check.


interesting the 2 Mays with opposing "experience".

Yes, I was drawn by a very stodgy class of senior citizens when I was in high school. Not an "intimate" or sexy experience at all. Some of them did nice work and at the end, they let me choose one which I still have.

Later, in college I posed nude twice for a class. That was sexier and not really uncomfortable. A guy afterward said he would love to ask me out, but in honor of his craft (or something like that), he was not going to. That group didn't even offer me one of the drawings -- I just got paid cash.

Bonafide_Blonde, I would think, and actually hope, that most experiences modelling would be very professional.

Yes, it should have been and was, in fact, professional. I would say that it was a good experience (although it is harder to do than it looks -- the posing). But I wished I could have had one of the drawings. To be fair, one was never promised, but I thought they were all very nice. Even the ones that were cubist.

Drawn? I am rarely even photographed, lol

I think I'd rather like to commission another artwork

True, it is difficult to be a good model. Even "relaxed" poses are more like intense yoga after a few minutes.

I thought maybe i would be drawn

I thought maybe i would be drawn

as in "attracted" or "rendered"?
