This book is for people who are curious about how it is to draw someone nude and for those who wonder how it would be to pose nude. It is also for students like the one who shyly turned to me during a photography class and confessed that he felt awkward working with the model; he was afraid of disturbing her. And, what follows is my response to those who upon learning that I am a figurative artist have told me how lucky I am to have an excuse to see “a lot of broads with no clothes on.” Revised version 2023
