I think what I get out of drawing/painting nude models is I can more clearly observe the underlying anatomy--bones and muscles are what determine how even the clothing falls on the model...

Although my own painting has a long way to go, I feel studying the nude is essential to my understanding portraiture.

Just a thought,
Mari
