It's not illegal to draw anything last time I checked, so no it's absolutely fine if you draw people in the nude. Many art classes, even in highschool will have students practise drawing this, art books also have lots of pictures your friend can copy and learn from. It's perfectly legal to draw people in the nude no matter what age. I'm about 90% sure it's legal for your friend to draw live subjects in the nude depending on how she got the subject. If it's a friend who volunteered to do it at their house, you might have problems. At a school though or college you'll be fine.



To the person who said drawing nude people is looking at pornography... my friend I hope you don't think everyone who bares skin is a porn star because boy is hollywood full of them.

No. I think she can go ahead and have her parents sign her up at a local community college and she can draw the models there. It does matter if its from a photo or a model. If you draw from a model you have a greater advantage, but drawing from photos isn't bad either, its just that its a really good opportunity and anyone looking to get into the art career should really practice life drawing and take full advantage of the opportunity. Take it as many times as you can.

you can draw whatever you want to draw. When I was 14, I wented to art classes with differnt kinds of models both men, women, children, and young adults. Just don't bring the commercial ( outside world ) world into drawing room. Also you need to request certain things. There is no age limitations at all to art. Art is limitless.

Many parents are different on this subject. Some don't care others will think it's disguising. If it's not sexual and the teen can draw really well then yes! Nothing pornographic though.

I was drawing female nudes as part of a required life drawing class I took for a year while at at an Art College out west . I was 17 1/2 . No it should never be a problem . There is inherent knowledge about what the student will see while drawing the human figure . Very quickly , correctly , it got old and just completely expected that that was what you would be seeing 3 times a week for 3 hrs. each day . Later on in life , I am still in awe and appreciative that I was able to experience that freedom to draw the natural naked body of a human at age 17 . Big deal .

i don't think it does. in my sophmore art class, i was taught about the difference between being nude and being naked. this one girl painted a picture of people having sex and i think she was able to get away with it. i guess it depends on the school.

Not in the CREATION of the work, but there are laws that restrict an adult's exposure of his or her naked body to a minor. This also applies to any adult that provides "pornographic" content to a minor, so even photographs could be a problem.. There are obvious exceptions made to the law, such as when a family practices social nudity at a naturist camp or other social event. This same kind of exception may apply to a parent supervising a session where a nude model is present for a student to practice live drawing.



The line between what might be an acceptable, legal practice and what the law might consider a form of child abuse could depend on the actual context of the drawing session and how it's presented and chaperoned, and, simply, whether or not one gets caught by the authorities.



Consider the case of the mother who took pictures of her two toddlers in the bathtub. She took the film to a local processor who prompty called the police. The mother was charged with producing "chld pornography." The charge was eventually dismissed, but it goes to show how sensitive some of us in society have become.



A "safer" alternative would be to present models wearing skimpy bathing suits, even as brief as a thong, and "pasties" on the breasts. If the model was wearing, at least, as much as might be acceptable on a public beach, it would satisfy any legal restrictions, without spoiling the practice benefits of live figure study drawing.

I didn't read that, only the title.



I'm not bragging at all (seriously), and if I had a scanner I would put some of my art on Deviantart or something. Anyway ~ I'm 13 (yeah) and I have drawn naked people before =3 I hope it's not a sin (not like I give a fuqq). So, I don't think it's bad. I mean, everyone knows what naked people look like. You have to look at it everytime you take a shower.



Besides, who cares what the hell the police or whatever say. It's expressing how you feel about art or whatever, right? Anyway, happy drawing times! *draws naked... urethra* lol

if your friend is drawing from a picture, then YES, it would be considered pornography and it is illegal for a minor to view porn. Not only do more than 80 percent of teens break this law, but no one would notice, care, or take action on this, especially if it's for artistic purposes. if your friend were to draw a model, then no it would not be illegal.

no. if from an actual person is prohibited then the only option is a model of pictures.
