My aunt does a lot of hiring for the university in my hometown. When I visited her last week, she was talking to a young guy who had been hired as a model. (The school has a fine arts program)

After she was done with that, she was telling me that they desperately need nude models (the guy she had just hired was a clothed model) and then told me what obscene amounts of money they were now offering.

I have an unimpressive body. I am not entirely comfortable showing it to strangers. But I have to tell you: I was sorely tempted, if for no reason than to shock my more prudish friends. But also because I could have made almost $100 in 3-4 hours.
I took a summer class at the School of the Art Institute a few years ago with nude models. If it makes you feel any better, artists go into the same mindset as doctors; they're not looking at the body as a sexual thing or judging it at all. It's just about reproducing it on paper as a bunch of shapes and curves, and it's sometimes easy to forget exactly what you're drawing when you're trying to get a finger or the angle of an elbow right. The atmosphere was really respectful, I thought. If it's something you're thinking about doing, you should at least try it once.[/QUOTE]

Pbbt. Speak for yourself. When I draw boobs or that incredible outer curve of a woman's side, I pour a ton of sexuality into it. Maybe it's true of beginners, though, before you realize that technical stuff is just a tool, immediately forget it, and start drawing something the way it feels.

Yes, but is the sexuality in your drawing or in the woman's body itself? If you were in a class with a female nude model, would you be ogling her or ogling your drawing?

I'd be giggling like a 13 year old boy. And pointing at the boobies.

Both if I'm doing it right. I'd be attempting to capture the sexuality of the person onto the page through my interpretive lens.

I wasn't insulting you, just speaking for myself.

I'd draw a stick figure in the first 2minutes, then spend the rest of the class giving her the V Finger-Lick action the rest of the hour.

Having done a LOT of nude drawings in my life, I'd say with most of them you would all be doing very, very little ogling. It ain't always good looking people doing this work and unless you are trying to capture sexuality/sensuality it doesn't even generally enter into the equation.

I don't know if guys like me, Jake, and Adammon are on a different wavelength when it comes to humor

So the wavelength you guys are apparently on is that calling a gay guy a homo is the height of humor?

Or do you not realize that what I said is exactly what happened and is what you're defending? I'm unclear.

Dude, it's cool. I'm 1/8th gay on my dad's side. I'm petitioning to join the tribe for the scholarships.

Fascinating! I think I may be adopted because my brother is 8/8th's gay and my sister is 4/8th's gay. Hell, we could be gay brothers-in-tribe!

I thought you had to be gay on your mom's side for tribe membership? Or am I thinking of Jewish homo initiation rights?

Man, that "half-gay" joke would've been mine if I'd have seen the post first. I hate you Jake.

The "half-gay" joke that he originally made was fairly funny and not at all what my complaint was about.

I have absolutely nothing for or against homosexuality first and foremost. But half anything makes me think of the RoboCop poster. 20 minutes in Photoshop and...

I actually left it alone for a while just in case someone else wanted it. When nobody else pounced, I had to take it.

You had your chance, dammit.

Okay, back to the original topic at hand here.

I understand some of the creepiness being called out here, but why is it creepy just to observe that someone's good looking? I understand that "omg [insert cute Halforumette] is so hot, I just want to lay her down," is creepy, but just to say something like, "[insert cute Halforumette] is really pretty!" seems fairly innocent to me.

Yeah, it's pretty much the former examples that this thread should be bumped for.
