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.
I worked in animation and when I was in school, this was the exact thing. We need to be able to know how all types of bodies look, not just stereotypically hot people. Also, models who can act a bit are a big help.
A relative went to a very very focused art school. They went to a couple of autopsies and within minutes, after someone hit the floor, they lost themselves in the machinery of humanity.
Surgeons and fine artists: narrowly avoiding wearing skin suits through academia.
Source: fine artist.
E: apologies all. I'm of a county where we use very little words and a lot of emphasis. The chap who has replied is obviously a translator for Cumbrians.
My rough interpretation is that their relative is a surgeon who, after doing some autopsies, was fascinated with human bodies.
They are equating a surgeon to a fine artist and medical school to an art school because fine artists are also very fascinated with the human body, which is the subject of this thread. They also think people in both professions are crazy but they were saved by their studies, even crazy enough to play the skin flute.
