Are you imprint certain? Said it before, but if you haven't done a
#LifeDrawing
pose before, be realistic about your ability to hold it. A reclining position requiring one to hold your head up off the ground… ain't gonna happen. A slightly dull pose is better than a constantly changing one.

Fold it like a batter– Also based on a pic, and it became mostly about the drapery. A lot of pics posted seem to be "boobs ahoy" lately, don't know why that is? Never really went in for that, but ok, let's do that.

Ready, set, pose– It isn't easy being a
#LifeDrawing
model, and people don't know this until they try it. They invariably move, and when it's a clothed/draped model, not only does a movement shift their body position, but folds change, and never go back to their original look.

Struggles– Gazelle made it easy to enjoy the
