Even if everyone isn’t gifted with the skills of drawing, you can still have a great time. Especially when you compare your pictures (which are bound to be entertaining). The model will judge the pictures and pick the best; he will also be available to pose for photos afterwards. At the end of the evening, you will have a piece of art to take home with you to remember the party. Many models will sit for an hour and how clothed they are is entirely up to you, let the giggling begin!
