There's no denying it. Most artists are very sensitive.

If it is appropriate to say so here, I will offer a suggestion. Since models are expensive and sometimes hard to find it may be useful to draw or paint one's own reflection. So many masters have done this. Also, when the weather allows, it is enjoyable to go to the park and draw people lying down or go to a restaurant and try to draw people as they are eating. In school we had life drawing timed to 1 minute, 5 minute and 30 minute sessions. One teacher made us draw draped sheets for 4 weeks! uhh!
