I always wonder how comfortable it is for the models and if they hold their positions for ages or get regular breaks! I'm such a fidget I would be terrible at this.

Yeah, when it’s a life drawing group the model has to be still as a sculpture. Sometimes there is what we call a “nose monitor!” If the model shifts at all they get corrected. But when everyone chips in it is a comedy of errors. For school finals the pose is 6 hours, 5-min break every 25-min posing.

Modeling privately is a lot less stressful!
