    I'm skint and trying to think of ways to make money and posing nude for Art popped into my head. I've attended life drawing classes myself while at college so I have an idea what's involved.

    Would you do it?

    Realistically, I don't think I could do it. The main reason being I'd be afraid I'd know someone in the class.

    I think I would. My body is a temple anyway. People like temples.

    Well I do a bit of photography, so if anyone wants some nude photos taken so they can then sell 8x10s on a Saturday morning in the market...


    *chi-ching*

    Ladies should expose only their ankles in public.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166 ✭✭SwarfegaHead


    I don't think I'd have a problem with it. Everyone else, on the other hand....
    Chances are people would think a crazy, nude hobo had wandered into the place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    Something funny about asking for pictures or getting the f*ck out.

    It wouldn't bother me - but most would not maybe call my body a work of art! LOL
    More like a moving disaster! :D

    Racist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    If you need the money, why not. You aren't harming yourself in any way and seriously, what are the odds of you knowing anyone in a small art class?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    totally would :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    No chance.

    It sounds really, really boring. I couldn't sit still long enough, so no.

    Depends on the pose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    Of course. Any excuse to take my clothes off. *flexes abs*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    Ah sure why not!?
    When you pose, try and put them off by adopting an overtly explicit pose. Maybe shave a smiley face down below too! ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 276 ✭✭dirtypanties


    yes,but I think people would pay me more to keep my clothes on unfortunately..:(


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Ah yeah, wouldn't have a problem with it.

    You're an artiste? Show me the MONAY!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    When I was in art college we had a male model, and he must've been about 60. One day one of his bollocks dropped out of his underpants (it didnt roll across the floor or anything), and the girl beside me got quite flustered and began to faint. I think I stopped drawing at that stage, if I remember right.

    So no I wouldnt, except maybe for a million quid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 449 ✭✭Emiko


    It's a question over which I've constantly mused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,699 ✭✭✭ronaneire


    Ah yeah sure get your tits out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    Yeah, sure I sit with the lad out for hours at night on ChatRoulette for nawthin'.

    Not having a ****, mind you, it's all for artistic purposes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭ReallyWiggy


    how much does it pay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,887 ✭✭✭IrishZeus


    You can almost hear the erections from some members just reading this thread.

    But seriously, do you charge by the hour or is there a nightly special...? :D

    He was wearing pants? :confused:

    The models I had to draw included a dreadlocked hippy girl, a young male who was waaay too bendy and liked to show off, a bald overweight lady and an 80 year old man.

    Be interesting to hear from anyone that's done it. I guess you just zone out while doing it.

    is there much demand for 'Naked Man Playing Xbox' type paintings?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    I did for art college. It was terrible, would never ever do it again. My body's a temple, yeah, for the flying spaghetti monster. Not only that, but you instantly become aware of every single part of your body, and it all ****ing itches.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag

    Yes, thankfully! Maybe he was a bit self conscious about his "crown jewels". We did have a female model also, and she used to go the full monty. Nice lady actually, used to sit and drink coffee with us in the canteen afterwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    Nothing wrong with it, it's not seedy or anything but I wouldn't do it, how well could it pay like, has to be better options. Plus if it's in a college situation you are more likely to recognise someone * awkwards *


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 248 ✭✭DanTheMan91


    I would. It would not be a big deal to me. Everyone has a body and all that goes with it so why not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    The secret to capturing Scumlords likeness on paper is to first cut a potato in half, next dip it in paint and stamp it on a clean sheet of paper, for the head and limbs use smaller potatoes. I don't really need to be there at all.

    I did a little bit when I was in my teens for school, clothes on stuff though.


    Though like anyone else, theres bits of me I like and dislike. But at the end of the day, you wouldn't be stripping off for just anyone. I'd like to think that they take art seriously enough to just get on with the job.

    So yeah, I suppose I would do it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 749 ✭✭✭BlastedGlute


    im doing it as I type this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Want to make money.....



    i will throw 5 euro to anywomen users who poses nude on this thread. I will make it 10 if they can pose with a nude friend.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 14,320 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Master


    Done it before, would do it again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    And again... how much does it pay?

    Genuinely curious now!

    I did this a while back. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career."

    I had a glamorous life of expensive clothes, satin sheets and crinkle-cut chips in silver bowls, but such high living comes at a high price.
    Things turned nasty though when I realized my photographer Trebor, was grooming me as an escort to visiting Japanese businessmen.

    OP, if you do decide to go for it, make sure you're not contractually obliged to sleep with foreign businessmen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    I wouldn't mind too much I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    What happens if the male model gets hard mid-sit, and you've already drawn his knob? Go back with the eraser and do it again? Or somebody might start with the johnston and another might leave it till last, resulting in two quite different images of it.

    I get naked for free so why not get a lil money for it. I'd do it. I'd wanna clean the pipes first. Some sexy arty chicks around, wouldn't wanna show how keen I really was by pointing at them.

    its all a matter of perspective


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I'd do it no bother if asked. I have been seen naked by probably 200 people as it is, given I tend to just get naked at random times to run about a little, so being drawn wouldn't be too bad as long as it wasn't too long. How much do they pay? I would thumb out a semi though, just so I didn't look pathetic, I am a grower not a shower after all! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,724 ✭✭✭tallaghtmick


    I would except I reckon my pic would like that brian cowen painting


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 rocketchick


    Yes, definetly I don't think this means that Im more liberated than anyone else... just more skint
    :)
    in fact im now going to investigate further thanks for the idea!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    And again... how much does it pay?

    Dunno. I'd say it wouldn't be too bad.
