What is an assistant artist figure model?

Assistant Artist Figure Models are individuals who pose for artists, students, or photographers to serve as references for drawing, painting, or sculpting the human form. They typically hold various poses, sometimes for extended periods, to help artists study anatomy, proportions, and movement. Assistant models may support lead models, help set up props or lighting, and ensure the session runs smoothly. This role requires patience, professionalism, and the ability to remain still in poses as directed.
