Wow, some of you are just way too homophobic! (not all of you)
IMHO.
All you have to do is draw it, it's like looking at anything else and sketching it. Just ignore the fact that that organ has anything to do with sex. You only have to sketch it, it's not as if you have to put it in you mouth.
I have three friends (men) who have had to do this type of thing for the past year, they don't care because to them it's just another image.
I really think if you're taking a life drawing class, the aesthetic appeal of a model shouldn't really be all that important.
Personally, if you end up with a person of any extreme, it's great : skinny people, muscular people, fat people... they're all interesting to draw because of the contrasting forms. It's the average Joe (or Jane) with no muscle definition and just kind of formless that really bugs me -- not fat enough to give form, not skinny enough for definition.
In any case, we've had some weird models too...
One guy had this huge gut, ponytails and struggled to take off his leopard print briefs everytime we resumed the posing. He was really professional about everything though. He held the same pose for over an hour because the teacher forgot to set the timer. Crazy.
There was this middle aged woman who was kind of a slut. She'd like get into all the weird poses, some which spread her legs wide open and revealing... erm... pretty much everything to whoever was sitting there. That's generally a art model no-no.
There's always this asian girl who models too. She has a tatoo full on her back, which pretty much obscures all the anatomical detail back there. Otherwise she had a nice body and she was shaved... 'down there'... which distracted a number of guys considerably.
There's a model I've had who's just got stripper-esque implants. Kind of ridiculous drawing them coz they take up the whole drawing and do nothing to reinforce natural proportion and form.
Lastly, there was this weird guy who was muscular and professional in his modelling. He was a great guy to draw except his nutsack was the size of a large fist. It's just jarring.
Otherwise we have an assortment of colorful people. Some of which are great models despite not having a perfect body.
/me shivers
Thanks for bring back old memories..now I'm going to have nightmares.
got to draw a lady with a nice ass this past monday.

I had a friend in a LD class who would always exaggerate the sexual characteristics of the models into weird abstract designs. It's very rude to laugh while models are posing, I found out. :D
I think some of you guys just overthink this stuff. It's not like you're handling the guy's junk or anything... unless you've got a really hands-on kinda sculpture class. Then, run. :p
Well...started Drawing 3 classes yesterday...thought the teacher would wait a couple of classes until he let the students draw naked models...nope, he had one ready on the first day of class.
She was rather large. It was cool though, too bad there were some immature kids in the class.
*waits for Aurora to comment*
if you drew the rest of him in a saluting pose I'd buy a print of it.Quote:
