Back to the original topic, I had to do Life Drawing for my Graphic Design course. I had just come out of high school and was still fairly sheltered. I found the experience embarrassing but never lusted over the people. They tended to get people who looked like they experimented with drugs (sorry, not trying to judge but they didn't look the least bit healthy). Also, for better or worse, you view the people as objects to draw. I think there's value in learning to draw true anatomy but it's not for me.
but yeah. i would find it more valuable at this stage of my life. not that i am gonna draw much. but i do love to paint. anyways. i hear ya. and i agree.
