Interesting thread Alex,

I appreciate everyones thoughts on the subject.

I think it is natural for mails to appreciate the curves of a females body, as is natural for a female to appreciate the curves of the mail body.

I think it goes beyond appreciation for a artist. We, the artist, practically absorb every detail of our subject not just the shape. We even go as far as capturing the mood of our subject. The translucency and the shimmer of skin is important to an artist as the artist learns to correctly represent it.

Why do individuals buy the nude drawings and paintings? Various reasons. I would not attempt to touch on all the reasons rather I will attempt to give the main reason. The work that we do and when done well unveils so much to the viewer.

You the artist are a creator and you have created something. The viewer appreciates what you have created and many attempt to understand your creation and in detail. The typical question I would hear is "How did you do that?" Then my favorite statement i love to hear is "I must have it!"

The artist. The creator. Sound like something from the Bible.

Wish you all the best.

Walk the narrow path for many search but a few find it and even fewer, when they find it, stay on it.
