People/Artists who want to develop their drawing skills regularly draw from a live nude model. Of course...in lieu of nude model students draw from their teacher, and classmates who learn about the various poses that make for interesting drawings and challenge "seeing" correct proportions and movement of the human form.
Student/Artists are challenged to imagine the skeleton hips, spine, and shoulders as well as how to show weight and tension when examining a particular pose.
