What to do for Art models...

​

Who is welcome here as a model: Anyone who wants to help the creation of Art such as Life Drawing, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, get partly or fully nude jobs such as TV or film extras. People with mobility issues are more than welcome in posing.

Who should avoid to use this service: Anyone with mood issues, bad temperament, with hanger issue or short fuse and those who hope to exhibit themselves in an indescent maneer, which would make artists feel uncomfortable, those who never want to show themselves and who'd never keep their camera on, those who see Art models as easy people to date and meet for that, anyone with racism or hatered issues, those with microphone issues or with an unstable Wifi, those with poor lighting or who have a cluttered space, those who won't control their sound muting and may have a noisy dog, finally those who will not show their drawings to the models and who just may not be drawing at all.

​

How to use this Free service for Life models:

1. You apply with images you would use and that don'thave copyright or nudity issues. We will let you know when your group(s) is ready and when you can start adding/editing posts on days you plan to be ready to pose. To apply please email at eukart@msn.com. Not all models will be accepted especially for London UK as some are hoping to disrupt so they may get offered a few jobs in return from that well known Life model provider in London. Unless you apply you'll never be able to show yourself here. You'll be given the necessary login info to the page once admitted that we change regularly.

2. You add details to the posts for time and dates you'd like to show as available. You'll choose the right color post depending on what style of modeling you will be doing. You are welcome in having up to 6 non consecutive regular slots every month. Don't forget to add social media links if confident and make sure you do not show your email adress or phone number. You should use a made-up name or your instagram name, never real names unless brave by nature. Here is our help for the different colours you can use: White posts are for Classical Nude Life Drawing, please read the models plan and request on the day. Some may request a tip in advance using their own PayPalme or Cup of Coffee. Most models don't charge anything but by donating to them after the session you'll keep them happy, motivated and they'll know you want to draw them again. They'll write their link here on their event post. In time if needed we will create a numbered list of poses that models can announce or that Artists can ask for using numbers for the pose and letters for the distance to the camera. Every week the link to join the meeting will be different so 4 or 5 links will need to be saved. Whenever we will need those links, the models will be informed and they will tell their group. They will not write the link on their event post. Red Post: This is all connected with Burlesque Life Drawing that we introduced in the UK around 2007/2008 where Male or female models pose in Burlesque outfits. Those sessions are mostly Free unless a model ask for a post donation in case he/she decides to perform for example. All models will have their own groups here that you'll need a membership to join where even group members can decide to share a costume/prop cost for their models. Life in any other video streaming meeting we will have to share a spotify playlist to avoid trouble with people who will illegally record any meeting. Yellow posts: are for Portraits, busts, full length poses but wearing casual everyday clothing that can be adapted to the Artist or the model's taste. This can happen indoors, outdoors and could mix landscapes, city or sea scapes with the model posing outdoors whenever they have good reception. We maybe able to advise on that. Green posts: Those are for nude Busts for Life Drawing, Painting or Sculpture for models who'd rather only show the top part of their bodies or for disabled models (chair modeling). Blue Posts: are for those with interests in being drawn, painted as their favourite super heroes or celebs, combining reference images of outfits and themselves as posing model. Models can use Ai on this platform to create the perfect idea, image that they'd love to be used for and inserted in the Artwork. Artists are not permitted to edit any part of the post and if they do they will be told and removed, banned if they persevere. Agreements can be made between model and Artists to arrange for donations to go towards extra costumes and props to their own discretion amongst themselves or within the model's group. Once you take a membership you can then join any model group but will be deleted when you cease to be a full 24/7 member. This color post can apply to drawing people younger, older, thinner, better looking, witch looking, gladiator, soldier, footballer, sports champ, mr or miss muscle, and can also be used to create fun, comedy, jokes and any montage that you could think of. Artists also use digital tablet so more can be achieved faster if experienced. Purple Posts: Are only for those posing but only showing hands, feet, body areas, eyes and need the right camera, equipment for that. Artists can ask the model to get closer using letters that i'll explain in a minute. This also works well for models who do not want to show their face ever and could wear a mask to avoid problems. Many Art teachers can now find people easily nearby or online for their classes.

3. Be as friendly and reliable as possible and decide if you and when you will start asking for donations before starting a session, which is definitely unpopular, but if you are lucky to be the popular type then you may find support. Most do not ask but keep the communication going in between sessions with their group members to organize their own paid gigs or invite them to their local in person classes. Be ready to even fundraise within your group to be able to buy props or costumes. Always give your donation link on your event post and gently remind people.

4. be ready with equipment so that you can move the camera at the right distance from you, that Artists may ask. To keep things simple and easy we gave letters to distances so when an Artist ask for distance B or D you'll know and won't need to ask or try to understand. Here is what those letters are and what distance they mean: A Distance is around 3m away or more, B is 2m, 3 is 1m, C is 1/2 a meter and D is as close as the camera will allow for up to Macro. Please don't let Artists record any meeting unless you trust him/her and always agreed in writing, on an email to protect him/her and yourself. Anything published found online may lead to legal action taken by you with our support. Make sure that your space is bright and not cluttered, that your microphone works and that you know how to mute yourself in case you have a dog or noisy neighbours.

5. Choose different ways to show yourself with photo, up to 30 secs video in mp4, using Ai to create an image of what you'd like to be drawn like, any painting of Artists you like, your approximate, not exact location if interested in in person jobs, which helps if you live in a reasonably big city, using drawings of yourself and making sure that you do not use explicit or nude photos in a FB way. The more ways you use the more chances to attract artists.

6. Join the previous model's meeting until he/she goes or just join in knowing that Artists will need to pin you on their screen.

7. Do your very best until your group grows and then maybe one day start asking for bigger and bigger donations before starting your own paypalme or similar link that you are welcome in adding to your event post where it says link. You could have more than one link and not more than 3.

8. At the end of your session simply ask the artist to show his/her drawings/artwork and say bye.

9. The maximum sessions you can do every month is 6 and could become less when it, and if it gets busy, so enjoy 6 sessions for the time being making sure you invite the World to them, which means to the website and to our 24/7 page. Let your people know that other memberships also give access to this page.

10. Whenever Arty parties are organized near you, make sure that you also invite the world to them as this is possibly the best way to get jobs, when people see you in person. As we are London based we already have a group anyone can join for Arty Parties in London.

11. Arty parties are events combining Private views, Life Drawing, Portrait classes, Arty groups posing and drawing, ending with preferably dressed late dance parties with limitations in Alcohol consumption. Little alcohol is good for concentrating on your Art but more than 2 glasses and like for driving it becomes a problem. I don't drink, don't smoke and don't do anything illegal due to bad stomach so i'll be drawing, chatting, interviewing, filming, taking photos and oh no! Singing when everyone has already fallen asleep so it won't hurt anyone... Our London present venue is near Oxford Circus and the first one happens on Wednesday the 22 of May from 7pm and models can buy free tickets as long as they apply here first, I know them, they at least emailed proof images of their modeling  or if they can email and provide details of people they've invited. Life drawing classes at Arty parties are only for Paid and booked models and Artists who bought a ticket so you won't be able to join that with a free ticket.

12. Time to apply at eukart@msn.com with a few photos you would use, your location, style of modeling. Within 48 hours i'll reply with password to access the page and any advise on which photos to use or anything else you may ask. I'll give you your Group link that you'll need to join so I can make you the admin. Again all is Free for you on this website except class recordings unless you posed for them.

13. Whenever you decide to try other days keep an eye on what is available and take them without the need to apply if already accepted but always make sure you delete all yourdata and leave the post the way you found it originally so others know it's free to use. When leaving you will loose your group(s) unless you pose for the network announced online classes once a month to every 3 months depending on the size of your group(s). If you continue inviting people to your group then you won't need to pose for the network.

14. If you ask for our advice or training we do not charge you for that but again swap our time for yours modeling for the network for life Drawing or for auditions so you can apply our tips and tricks.

15. Always communicate with us if you have questions or feel uncomfortable with any Artist and again do not give private information, details except for being engaged, with someone. Honesty will always save the day as well as chaperons at in person classes.

16. Start your own in Person class preferably in a friend's house or above the pub and start properly cashing in for the efforts and time you invested. We used about 1000 venues in and around London between Pubs, homes, Art studios, work hubs, Boats, Castles, Karaoke bars, nightclubs, barges, squats, empty buildings, the tube, buses, Parks, public squares, churches, restaurants, hotels, community halls, Cemetaries, Offices, Trade exhibitions, schools, and more, so we can hopefully advise you on the subject. Your small community will grow, new friends and accountances will arise and your Life will become better for your own sake and for the Arts. I don't mind getting invited but might not be free or have the necessary funds to get to you on time... but don't hesitate as invitations will make my day :)...
