<ul><li>Do I have to be nude to be a figure model? Not always, there are some figure drawing groups that like to draw clothed or costumed models, but the majority of them focus on drawing the nude figure.</li><li>Do I need prior experience with figure modeling? No prior experience needed! You will be provided with the information you will need in order to become a figure model, and there will be a Q+A at the end if you have any questions!</li><li>Do I have to look a certain way or be a certain weight or height in order to be a figure model? No! If someone tells you that you can't be a figure model because you're short, or fat, or Black, or disabled, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT! Models come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities! Artists need a variety of diverse figure models in order to improve their drawing skills. They're not truly an experienced artist if they can only draw skinny/white/able-bodied people.</li><li>W﻿ill I have the opportunity to model/draw a model during the training? No, this is a live training only, there will not be any figure modeling or drawing during this event.</li><li>What platform are these sessions held on? We gather via private Zoom meeting. For the best user experience, please have your tech setup completed at least 10 minutes before joining.</li><li>Can I join the live training late? What if I can't log in on time? No worries! Join anytime during the live training. It will be recorded and sent to you, along with the slideshow, within a couple of days of the training.</li><li>Will there be a recording available if I can't make it live? Yes! Everyone who signs up will receive the recording and the slideshow, so even if you can't make it live, you'll still get all the information!</li></ul>

Accessibility + representation is important!In order for historically marginalized folks to have access to this workshop, economic justice has been incorporated into the ticket system. Tickets are sliding scale so that the folks who want to join can do so at whatever cost is best for them.It's important for me to make these events + experiences available to as many people as possible while also sustaining myself in a capitalist society. Sliding scale tickets allow me to offer flexible price points for folks with different financial abilities + needs.Sliding scale tickets are based on the honor system, + I trust that you will purchase your ticket accordingly. When I am paid fairly, I am able to invest more time + energy into free + lower-cost resources for the community.General Admission: either $33 or $44Economic Justice Admission: between $5 - 30 donation***Please be mindful that if you purchase a ticket at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.***
