Next up was another old friend. We actually dated, but since this occurred over 20 year ago, it's ancient history. We were in each other's weddings, and have been hanging out and occasionally vacationing together (along with our spouses), so have maintained a close friendship. He's often game for helping out with my occasionally oddball projects, and I appreciated his participation. He picked an athletic pose with a sword (cue phallic jokes here), and then a sort of mock-coy over the shoulder pose. Although he doesn't normally do any drawing himself, he was willing to try being the artist too. I went with a lying down pose, because I figured it would be the easiest to hold. His approach to drawing was fairly different. While I usually pick a place to stand and then remain rooted there, to avoid shifting the perspective around, he went with a more cubist approach, moving around to draw different segments from different vantage points. As with the previous models, by the time we were done, hanging around naked felt pretty much normal and comfortable.
