It’s never been more accessible as thousands of people all over the country take advantage of the online activity boom and try their hand at virtual nude life drawing. Wondering what all the fuss is about? Read on to find out!
What is Virtual Nude Life Drawing?
Virtual life drawing is an art class that takes place online via video call. This could be through something like Zoom or Skype where your group will gather in a virtual room where you’ll meet a professional artist who’ll introduce themselves before teaching you how to draw a live, nude model.
How Does Virtual Nude Life Drawing Work?
Your virtual life drawing class will be led by a professional art tutor who’ll introduce the male or female nude model. They’ll then de-robe and assume a range of poses for you to draw. You’ll sketch everything you see on to the paper in front of you. And we mean absolutely everything! The art teacher will be on hand throughout to share top tips and drawing techniques. Another way an online nude life drawing class works is that the nude model doubles up as the model and the teacher and guides you through the session. Either way, you’ll get full tuition as well as someone to sketch.
Do I Need to Provide Anything for a Virtual Nude Life Drawing Class?
Yes, you’ll need to have blank paper, a pencil and a pencil sharpener to hand. You’ll need a good internet connection as you’ll be accessing your class via your smartphone, tablet or laptop. We also think that this activity is best enjoyed with a glass of something tasty!
How Long Does Virtual Nude Life Drawing Last?
This depends on the experience provider, but these online life drawing classes tend to last between one hour and 90 minutes, plenty of time to create a great piece of art. You’ll even get to keep it as a souvenir. Are you brave enough to hang it on the wall?
Is the Virtual Life Drawing Model Really Nude?
Yes! The male or female model will be 100% nude! Don’t worry if you let out a little giggle or find yourself blushing; all the models we work with are completely professional and are used to posing for groups.
Do I Need to Be Good at Art to Try Virtual Life Drawing?
No. Because you’ll get full tuition, virtual nude life drawing is suitable for all abilities. It doesn’t matter if life drawing is already a hobby of yours or if you haven’t sketched anything since art class at school! Just come with an open mind and give it your best shot. Remember, you’ll be in good company and you’ll love comparing your drawings at the end. Who do you think will create the best likeness? You can even ask the model to judge!
