Yeah that seems to happen a bit. For guys it's different, they usually have the I'd do her scale when they get in a model. There was one that didn't get naked and one dude in the class made her feel real uncomfortable because she wouldn't. She was good looking and had a nice body but he couldn't get the idea it was a class not a strip club.
Personaly I didn't care one way or the other. I was there to learn and even if they weren't what you'd consider attractive they didn't have to be. It was a figure class and they had more guts than I would to be up there so I always acted respectful.
The thing is you did a good job with it. It's always kinda weird at first because youve never had to deal with the situation before. But the way you're looking at it is the right way to do it.

I've had many many classes where I've had to look at naked bodies I had one class that was devoted entirely drawing naked bodies some unpleasant some absolutely incredible. I actually have loved it since that first class I think that the human body in its purest form is so beautiful. obese, anorexic, tall, short. It's all incredible every flaw, every detail how different shadows and lines can be on one person from the next even in the same poses, with the same lighting, with the same media.
My first class ever this attractive dancer came in in sweats, she put on a robe, and picked up Tuesday's with Morrie, she sat there reading it legs crossed with a cup of tea in the other hand. My professor started the timer and she just took off her clothes and stood on that stage like it was nothing. I was impressed with her confidence. I think it was what inspired me to want to perfect that image on my newspaper pad. It was the most intense feeling looking at her. I'll never forget that.

I attended art collage many years ago and the life drawing class was one of my favorite studio classes. It gave me the opportunity to portray the human body as it was, with flaws and character, not as some perfect ideal. I learned how to capture the play of light and shadow on the features and body of the model which gave my drawings life and vitality. Some of the pictures from that time I still have. My life drawing classes were some of the best experiences of my college education.

I have an undergraduate art degree and my emphasis was figure drawing. I actually taught a nude figure drawing studio during my senior year and tried to get as many different body types as possible. Every body has beautiful aspects that can be brought out in an artistic representation. Plus, it was far more challenging for everyone to have the opportunity to be exposed to many different human shapes. Unfortunately it was often difficult to convince people with "less-than-perfect" bodies to model nude.

My first Life Drawing class was in high school. It was a little uncomfortable at first. The male models wore socks over their privates which I found odd. The females wore body coloured underwear. After a few lessons it was no big deal.

Not in school. but I did attend a drawing thingy in LV, NV on drawing people for art. U just have to be an adult about it and see it as art. Not the nasty business.
People are interesting, everyone differs and have their own unique build, and charactor.
