Today, in art class, our instructor called me up to the front to model for a drawing. I agreed to pose because it was nice to be called on, and I needed a self-esteem boost. He then thanked me, saying it's a great exercise for the class to draw such strange proportions. FML

Today, a friend asked me to come with her to the art building at school so I could pose in the stance of a figure she was drawing for her exam. I obliged and sat for the pose. When the art teacher walked by, she looked at me, then at the sketch, pointed to the legs, and said, "Make them fatter". FML

Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML

Today, I was in art class in which we were drawing mythical creatures. I spent the entire hour and a half drawing a Minotaur, which turned out extremely well. It turned out so well that the teacher thought I had traced it, and told me to start over right before the bell rang. FML

Today, we were practicing figure drawing in art class. Our regular model didn't show up, so our teacher pulled someone out of study hall. And who did she pick? My ex-boyfriend, who stalked me after our breakup, which resulted in a nervous breakdown that put me in therapy. It was a long class. FML

Today, I saw a naked man for the first time in my life. It was the nude model in my art class. I was forced to draw wrinkles and fat rolls in places I didn't even know existed. FML

Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML

Today, I had to do a still life of a pillowcase for my drawing class. To make up for bad grades I've gotten before, I followed my professor's directions to a T. He took 19 points off because I drew the background when no one else did. We have to do it for every piece. FML

Today, I saw a guy in the street drawing caricatures, and I decided to pay him to do one of me. Being a caricature, I looked pretty monstrous in it. When I showed it to my mum later, she shuddered and said, "Yeah, looks just like you." FML

Today, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML

Today, my art teacher fawned over my friend's photographs of random children and people making out, while she called my picture of an old man looking thoughtful on a pier "creepy" and "voyeuristic." FML

I'm sorry to hear that OP. You're professor is really inconsiderate to say that about you.

Honestly, op, as someone who has taken many drawing classes, including life drawing, I would much rather draw someone with curves and unique proportions than something close to "perfection". Take it as a compliment! Many of my classmates felt the same way too.

We'll I guess when you need self-esteem boosts, and you don't like your strage proportions, you could get in shape and get asked to model some other time because by then you'll be better looking.

Hey. So I'm the OP and that is not only a very douchey thing to say, but it is also very ignorant. I am very in shape and "odd proportions" doesn't have to mean fat. I am actually rather slim and athletic because I am a varsity swimmer. I just have a large rib cage, muscular thighs, broad shoulders, and what is called a "swimmers back". All of that is contrary to the proportions of most girls my age.

I am also a TEENAGE GIRL. Even grown women can use a self esteem boost every now an then.

Being a former art student myself I must admit this shocked me. Our teachers were not aloud to say anything like that about our models. But then, they were strangers hired to model for us. One nude male and one female in shorts and tank top. This was very cruel from your teacher, very unprofessional too! I bet you look lovely op! Be proud of your own unique body
