Does taking life drawing classes make you uncomfortable?

I took figure drawing in college, but I waited till my junior year which helped since the whole naked people thing was less of an awkward concept by then. It would of felt weird if I was still a freshmen maybe because of how shy and innocent I was at the time. (note my friends said I was innocent, so going off that basis)

I went to an all girls college, so to see a completely naked man standing in our small class room was awkward at first, also our art teacher made him do really weird poses that he had to hold a stick to stay up and could only be in the pose less than a minute due to the strain. It was a bit weird, but you had to draw so fast that you didn't notice. O_O Was like 20 secs flip page 10 seconds flip page etc.

Also he was super confident, he would have a whole conversation about his kids while he was naked.

The first time you go to a nude figure drawing class yes, you'll probably be a little embarrassed. You get over it quickly, a body is just a body. You're just drawing and learning about posing, proportions, and anatomy.

It feels weird to start with, but honestly your mind is so preoccupied with technique and construction etc, so you don't really have the brain capacity to get embarrassed when you first have started. You don't have the time making one and two minute drawings. At first I would talk with the models because I thought it was too personal after seeing them naked, after two or three times I chat normally with them in the breaks. It quickly gets compartmentalized.

Go draw naked butts!!
