Have you ever been drawn...

[THROBBS]

I recently made a drawing using a photo as the basis. I was keenly aware of the intimacy of studying the curves, contours and skin of the subject. Naturally, it is not as intimate as drawing from life, but this time, having a fraction of knowledge of the woman, I felt much closer than if she were an anonymous (to me) model.

Back in high school art class, we had a guest portrait artist show up for a demonstration. They chose to draw me in charcoal at a time when I was absolutely heart-sick pining for a girl and I had a lot of serious issues dealing with my family.

When my mom dug the picture out of storage a couple of years ago it instantly took me back. I could see everything that was on my mind that day.

Great artist!

I know you want me to answer that question, but I refuse to be…

 

[spankableBelle]

I have not.

 

[THROBBS]

I have not.

Have not been drawn to be drawn?
Have not been drawn?

 

[Kat73]

Yes!! My girlfriend's husband drew me from a pic I sent her. Wonder where that is...

Have not been drawn.

 

[THROBBS]

Have not been drawn.

But you'd like to be?
Maybe? Under certain circumstances?

 

[THROBBS]

Yes!! My girlfriend's husband drew me from a pic I sent her. Wonder where that is...

A portrait?
A nude?

 

[THROBBS]

I can now say that yes, I have been drawn.

It was not from a real life session, which is on my bucket list. It was lifelike, minus the scales

It's an interesting, and intimate feeling to know someone is looking at you in an attempt to bring an image to life. Looking at yourself through someone else's eyes and imagination is a unique and exciting experience.

I would think that the level of excitement would vary with the type of pose and the individuals (subject and artist). Live or from photo(s)

Who's idea/suggestion was it? Was he a professional? Or, at least, skilled?
Sounds like you ended up with the drawing.

He had an eye and could draw well. I do have it somewhere!!

There was another drop-in life-drawing session offered at the local art center this past Saturday.
Sadly, I had something else scheduled. Hopefully they will increase the frequency.

 

[THROBBS]

Here comes a new session! I should be able to attend. fingers crossed.

I'm posing nude for an art class tonight. First time in 20yrs.
Looking forward to seeing the work the artists produce.

 

[THROBBS]

There was a litster when I was still new-ish here that asked to draw me once, I wish I could remember the username...or that I still the photo of the drawing that he sent.
It was fun though, we did 2 sessions all on skype cam calls and we just chitchatted while I laid across the couch. I enjoyed it!

I have never done a remote/live drawing. hmmm... the next best thing to in-person.

I have made screen shots (with permission) of video chats, which would later be used as reference.

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".

I have. Several times. For the money. I was sooooo nervous the first time because it was for a class of about ten people and I only knew one of them. I was MUCH more comfortable the other times though because I didn't get high AF or drunk beforehand lol.

Posing for just one artist was much less stressful. But, way more sexy. At least for me. Once was with a guy artist and I remember it was so hot because it was summer and he didn't have a/c in his studio. My only other one-on-one was with a female artist and that was absolutely magical. Before, during and especially after.

Exciting! How did it go?

Did you like what they drew/painted?

How many were in the class and was it men and women?

I wish you could remember his name SNG. I almost let myself get talked into posing for someone on here when I was new too. I wonder if it was the same guy?

Years ago I played a gig, I got offstage and a girl totally surprised me with a sketch of me. I was truly touched and said thank you. Then she said "I draw for donations." I look in my wallet and make the mistake of saying "all I have is a $20." Which I ended up giving her. Totally worth it though.

 

[THROBBS]

My husband is an artist and when he was in art school I was his life drawing model quite often. We have a framed charcoal of me in the shower in our bathroom and a watercolor of me on our wedding day in our living room.

That's really cool. I have done a few of my wife, back when she would. She would never let me put them up!

 

[THROBBS]

Drawing was good today. The same model as last time I attended, which was fine, as he is pretty good.
Interesting aspect is that during a longer standing pose he started to get an erection. I have been figure drawing or 40+ years and I cannot recall any quite so noticeable. It was cool by me. I had already roughed in his cock and decided not to make the adjustment.

Best I could tell, he was not triggered by any of the artists, but who knows? > Him.
It could have been simply some internal musing which manifested itself externally. Wouldn't fly in Florida! (flaccid OR erect!) LOL

Perhaps I will revisit the drawing and put in the dark, semi hard cock (with emphasis). Although I have never been attracted to men in any sexual way, I have always been able to appreciate male beauty, and empathize with that sensation of a growing cock.

 

[THROBBS]

I love that it is up. The sketch is now 30 years old and to see how my body has changed and how much it is still the same is a real gift. Now with that being said, it isn’t in the living room on display for everyone and I’m fairly comfortable being naked.

I hear you. She used to be more comfortable being naked, at least around me.
We have one of my nude drawings up in the bedroom (not of her).
Most of my drawings are hidden away in sketchbooks or flat files in the basement.

 

[THROBBS]

I wish I could too!! maybe I’ll have to go back to my ampics and see if I can find him, I think he commented there.. unless it was on my second one I had deleted

No luck?
