🎯 Adult Art- How long would it take you to draw someone that's nude? Would it be easier or more difficult? - I'm trying to expand my art style and someone suggested nude artwork

Honestly, I have no interest in drawing anyone in the nude. I think I would find it uncomfortable.

I couldn’t draw a recognisable picture of a person (clothed or naked) to save my life. I suppose drawing a nude slightly easier. Less creases and shadows to depict.

Excuse me but that's a sin that Jesus wouldn't approve of so I wouldn't do that. Wait! What did I just say?! Is there a sin that Jesus would approve of?! ...

But seriously, I can't draw for shit! Nude or fully-clothed doesn't make a difference for me.

If I get no 'prize' after drawing, if you know what I mean, I might not be able to do it.

probably less time than with clothes on, because clothes are more complicated to draw to me, I'd say 20mins for a reasonable sketch

I can only draw stickmen, so in that sense it would be easy. But if someone dared me to draw a proper body, I'd say it would be pretty difficult to do the additional body parts

I never practiced it, I have no experience in drawing almost. I'd rather take a look. My kind of art is playing the pianoforte a little bit.

If we're talking a pencil or charcoal and it isn't that big and I stayed at it, a few hours maybe? If you mean easier than drawing someone with clothing, then I would say drawing clothing is easier than drawing the body underneath

Drawing after nature is a good exercise. Drawing nudes is part of the classical education when learning art. To draw a person needs a bit of knowledge about the proportions and mechanical workings of our body. So drawing nudes is the start of it. After mastering this you can much better draw or paint people. Also it sharpens your perception for proportions, outlines and perspective. And since we all know our own body and have a natural perception for body language we more easily can tell if the image we draw seems about right. So yes, learning to draw nudes is a good recommendation.

Probably about the same time it would take for me to draw a set of hands, feet and a head - thats harder that boobs.

Depends if I want it to make it more realistic or not and how detailed the draw would be. I'm not that good at drawing so I guess it would be difficult. I find it to be always more difficult to draw people or animals. It's like you have to catch their soul in the drawing. Or it would be like that for me.
