I've been craving long poses at figure drawing lately and my slow-painting painter fellas do NOT mind at all!

But we still start with the usual: five minute warmups!

Here's our final pose, which I spent the first 20 minutes rendering more realistically, as usual:

I moved on to a new Blick cold press watercolor block, and remembered to take process photos again! Albeit in terrible lighting:

A bit darker than I meant to make her, but there are a lot of little spots on this that I REALLY liked.

This style makes me excited to return to figure drawing EVERY Wednesday. :)

I've been enjoying your figure drawing so much that I started wondering how someone goes about becoming a model for figure drawing, and whether the models ever get to buy any of the artwork?

Ooohh!! If other figure drawing groups are like ours, the ones in your area would probably LOVE to have a new model! We draw a lot of the same models multiple times, and while they're wonderful, we love being treated to some variety once in awhile. Finding a group is the first, and toughest, step. Try contacting local artists, or hitting up a local community arts organization/building, art teachers, college art students, anyone who might have leads. (I think sometimes figure drawing groups are a little hard to find because we don't want to accidentally attract weirdos.) I modeled for drawing classes when I was in college and it was one of the most challenging jobs I've ever had. The hardest part about modeling is staying STILL, and maintaining the energy of the pose from the beginning to the end. It takes some amount of strength and plenty of zen! If you've got that, you'll be appreciated. :) The other tricky part is coming up with poses, although a lot of times the artists or guide will advise you. The advice we give most often is to go CONTRAPPOSTO, which essentially means NOT SYMMETRICAL. Symmetry in a pose tends to look unnatural and boring (and, imo, hard to draw!). Good luck to you, if you do decide to pursue it! And I'm happy to answer any questions you have. :)

OH, and buying the artwork is totally up to the artists. Personally, I like to offer one piece for free to the model if they ask, but I draw several almost every week, so it's easy for me to give away a piece. A lot of artists are doing this to truly STUDY, which means they don't see the drawing as a salable piece, just the product of an exercise. Anyway, you won't know unless you ask. :)

I love the lil back foot in the final art! And the rest, but I need more caffeine to be socially adept. XD

Thank you so much for your replies. I'll put some thought into the stillness and energy maintenance aspect, before I take it any further. Definitely keeping up that yoga class at my bouldering gym to work on my 'zen'. :)
