Expectations of a Life Drawing Event

What to Actually Expect from a Life Drawing Class

First things first, you don’t have to be an artist to enjoy a life drawing experience.

The less experience you have, the more you’ll gain from this session. Whether it’s been years since you last picked up a pencil or you’ve never quite mastered drawing, you’ll be in good company. Everyone starts at the same level, and that’s part of the fun. Remember, this isn’t like your old school art lessons — you’ll be sketching a live nude model, which makes for a completely different (and often more relaxed) experience.

The best thing about experiences like these is that they are perfect for a hen party, stag do, or even a birthday celebration! Although you are there to draw a naked figure, it is a fun experience that is supposed to get you to let loose and have some fun.

All You Need to Know About Life Drawing Models

The session will start by entering your private room, where you will meet your experienced art tutor. They will be running the class from start to finish giving you plenty of tips and techniques to trial in your drawings. Once you’ve met your tutor and introduced yourselves, you will then be able to meet your muse, the male or female model who will be your focus for the session.

The model will de-robe and get into their first pose in the middle of the room, with you all sitting around, ready to go. Your tutor will hand out plenty of paper, pencils, charcoal, and other drawing equipment you may need before you get started. As you sketch the pose, you will receive tips and tricks for improving what you’re doing as you go along.

Of course, this experience is for a celebration, so during your time, there will be some hilarious games that will get everyone involved between all the poses you will be drawing. And, of course, after each drawing is complete, you can show each other your impressive works of art and judge who you think is the best!
