it's funny that you mentioned that.
i don't know about when you went to the academy, but nowadays majority of the models are females...and a good portion of them are students.
and if it's a male model that comes into class, i'm not going to draw him, unless the professor makes the model switch sides. if that happens, i only draw portraits of the males. i am not going to draw below the waist.
lol, it's hella funny though, teachers will come up to me and finish the bottom half of the male models...
