Recently I was emailing my process of creating nude art for client's with a potential client, and he asked me, what do you do when you don't have a nude photo for reference? I told him, I have to rely on the spouse for 'intimate' knowledge of her private parts.This is actually a common occurrence for me in my job. When I am commissioned to do a nude portrait for a private party, they normally have no nude photos that they can share with me. So, I have to ask the client, what shape are her nipples? how big are her aureola? does she shave her pubic hair?
These all very delicate subjects, especially with complete strangers. But I pride myself on my discretion and professionalism. In the creative process of a nude wife commission, I have to know everything I can about her anatomy so that I can draw the most accurate image possible, one that they will enjoy for years to come.

I had no idea you often work from non-nude pictures! What a challenge! And it certainly would take great diplomacy to get the information you need to do the job! Congratulations on such a talent and the finesse to go with it!
ReplyDeletelol, yep, both examples above were after 'diplomatic' inquiries as to the subjects, ugh, private anatomy (which you know, as a woman, will vary from female to female). Lots of emails went back and forth on the subject. :)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how difficult it would be to explain those e-mails out of context.
