I found that for some models it became a hobby. They branched out to other classes because they became comfortable with one group so they took on other groups. Although, I remember some where they tried it a few times and gave it up. One lady had a pretty respectable body. One week she poses and its just like she happened to take off her clothes and walked into it like it never bothered her. But the next week she came back really nervous. I guess she became self concious of her body hair. She returned with a bald kitty. It threw quite a curve ball for the class. I was shocked a little too but got over it by the second or third drawing. I’d do about 7 in a class. She didn’t return for the next week. The next week it was a guy who was a friend of a roommate, which I didn’t know at the time. Funny walking into the dorm and he’s visiting my roommate. To fill out the details, another student was instructed in the teachers Russian accent “Bob, Bob, its not that big Bob.”. The teacher was a classically trained russian realist. She was a tough one to impress. Thing was, there were many open mouth stares.

I’ve paid for a model on my own time as well. It just didn’t work out. The form and idea in my mind just didn’t match him. The whole thing got recycled and I could only pay for 4 hours or so. Oh well.

I noticed that this is a super old post but thats okay. Best of luck!

I was extremely nervous at first, but it was so professional and a great job! You should give it a try, it even pays well.
