There are two kinds of \u201cartists\u2019 models\u201d: those who pose for commercial artists for drawings for advertising, and those who pose for \u201cFine Art\u201d. The former are also called \u201cillustration models,\u201d since the result of the artist\u2019s work is an illustration of a designer\u2019s clothes for a catalog or print ad. This type of modeling is less common now than in the past, but is still done to some extent. Illustration models need not be fully qualified as fashion\u00a0models, but they normally resemble them. Fine Art is usually for drawing, but can be for painting, sculpture or photography as well. All body types are used, and there is no height requirement. There is more demand for female\u00a0art models than male, although nearly as many men as women work in the field. The majority of art modeling is nude work.
\nPay for artists models tends to be quite low: $10-12 per hour is typical of rates for schools or established artists; art photographers or artists shooting \u201creference pictures\u201d generally pay more in the $25 per hour range. Pay does not change with experience, but more experienced models are more likely to get booked. In addition to attractive physical traits, artist models must be able to find a variety of attractive poses and hold them for an extended period. Flexibility is desirable.
\nSince there is little money in it, it\u2019s rare to find a model agency who supplies models to artists. Models pursuing that specialty will have to self-market. Some illustration modeling is supported by agencies, since there is a client with enough money to make it worth their while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
