Having taught figure drawing for many years, I’ve often been asked “why are the models always women and always nude?” The models are nude because artists are trying to understand bones and muscles, which are difficult enough to see under skin, but even more difficult to see under a layer of clothing. As for the shortage of male models, my conclusion after all these years is that most guys are wimps.
