The number of decent to skilled artists who wind up drawing genitalia over and over again kind of astounds me.
That's what artists do. Most art schools entrance exams have, as a standard question, an empty box captioned "draw anything here". The entrant to draw the biggest dick wins.
Hahahaha! Hehehehee! Hoohoohooo!
Reminds me that I once told one of my art professors that I detested drawing the human form. I did make it clear that it wasn't because of the nudity, but that I just didn't like doing the musculature and that I hated that the "peak" of classical art is the human form ("hello, landscapes?"). This was in reference to having to reproduce a painting out of a specific book. Every. Single. God. Damned. One had a person in it.
It's like, art history: "Here's a thousand styles of art since the dawn of time."
Art instruction: "And here is how to draw naked people. What do you mean 'other styles of art?' We've been teaching art this way for over 2000 years!"
I found every excuse I could to draw "anything but people."
(Best part: the one assignment I actually LEARNED anything on, I got a D because I did it wrong. "Your lines aren't clean and those circles aren't geometrically perfect. And those lines, you clearly didn't draw those with a
ruler." I'm sorry, what part of "draw this using only geometric shapes didn't you understand? I drew an
organic object with nothing more than a free hand and geometic shapes! The
very foundation of drawing fuckanything!)
