Go Figure!
There are probably as many how-to books about art as about cooking, but here's a new twist altogether, Andrew Cahner's book about how to be a nude model, The Art Model's Handbook. One would think there's not much to it, just strip and hold still, but anyone who's spent countless hours drawing nude models knows different. It's hard work, folks, "doing nothing."

Great idea and a greart cartoon John. roger
Really funny cartoon John (((chuckles)))
Odd choice of subject for a (hand)book... but seeing as it's figure drawing! LOL
PS You are so right about modelling for artists being hard work. It's not everyone who can "do nothing" with elegance and grace!
Thanks, Roger and Jean.
John: Thanks for mentioning my book!
Jean: Good point about the irony of a "hand" book for figure models. I was thinking there should be a companion volume called The Hand Model's Art Book. ;-)
(((chuckles)))
Wonderful cartoon John....Amazing what members of the FDF come up with.
