As the title states, I am a dude currently in his mid-30s who has worked as a nude art model for life drawing classes at varying degrees of part-time for the last decade. Specifically, I am a plus-sized guy, a body type not normally in this line of work.

In my 10 years (and counting) as an art model, I have modeled poses as short as a couple seconds or continual motion all the way up to poses that stretch out for weeks, or months, at a time for groups as small one-on-one to upwards of 100 people for one session. All-in-all, I have found modeling for life drawing classes to be one of the best, most rewarding things I have ever done in my life and love to share what I know along with any experiences on with anyone interested in knowing more.

I’ll leave it at that and let ya’ll ask away! If you’re curious about the work, questions about my experiences, body type issues, whatever!
