i think its instructive how the ancient sculptors and artists used to have to draw nudes in order to understand the human body. perhaps our image models need this

It isn't just the ancient sculptors and artists (unless 20 years ago is ancient :-P), when i went to an art school there were nude drawing lessons there too.
Does it actually help? What about just drawing censored versions or those covered up with a leaf kind? I'm not trying to be difficult but just curious how the whole thing works. Like I don't think drawing clothed models just makes you not understand human anatomy. Also totally understand if it's just some tradition thing people so or whatever.
