Figure Drawing Friday with Stoya! (NSFW) (Patreon)

As much as I loathe the words "Let's do a Zoom meeting," video calls have made figure drawing a lot easier to keep up with this year! A week ago I was fortunate to connect with Stoya and arrange a session for last night.

If you don't already know who Stoya is, she's my full-stop-favorite adult entertainer. She also co-writes a sex & relationship column for Slate, and is pursuing a (now on-hold, of course) side career in acting; she's been in a couple of plays by my old comics buddy Dean Haspiel in the past. I wasn't fully aware until last night that she also happens to be a big Girls With Slingshots fan, which means I can now die happy.

Stoya is quarantining in a very tiny apartment at the moment, so she could only get the camera to capture her from the legs up, but we made it work! This was my first time having a private session, which means I was able to request super short poses, starting with two minutes:

... moved on to five-minute poses...

... and my favorite, ten minutes:

When she hopped into the final pose, I laughed and told her how relieving it is that I can express my excitement over a great foreshortened foot pose, and know that she'd be unfazed. Normally I come off as that weirdo with the foot fetish. I JUST WANT TO PRACTICE DRAWING FEET, DAMMIT.

If you're feeling adventurous, check out Stoya's website, Zero Spaces. I don't know how to explain it other than... a sexually experimental art magazine? It's pretty. :) 

More straightforwardly, she's also got an OnlyFans page, which from what I understand is like Patreon but for adult entertainers. Enjoy!
