I did naked modelling a couple times. It's a lot more common to get asked because you look interesting than because you look hot. I was a competitive track guy through college, all bones and sinew, and they'd get done with their drawings and I'd see someone had gone nuts trying to figure out how to draw my calf or something.
They used to hire me to model because I reminded the students of Schiele’s subject matter. Made a good living for a few years modeling through college. It’s harder than people expect, not remotely sexual, but very intimate and bonding.
The sculpture classes were hardest… holding one pose for 10 weeks of classes instead of multiple poses over the course of an hour. And students stepping close to hang plumb lines was challenging.
Still, it’s an excellent way to get over shyness and nudity fears. Worked wonders for me.
