Nude drawing is an artistic genre that aims to represent the human body in its natural state. In practice, nudity is rarely total, and the body is often highlighted with elements like drapery, the subject's hair, or various accessories. This artistic genre, focused on depicting the nude woman or the live model, has a long history and has been revisited by artists across many periods.
In its beginnings, only gods and supernatural beings were depicted without clothing. This approach was not of full nudity, but rather of the uncovered body. In fact, artists like Lucian Freud have distinguished between the terms "nude" and "naked," highlighting a subtle difference in how artistic nudity is perceived. This distinction enriches the understanding of how nude drawing has evolved throughout the centuries.
In the history of art, nude drawing has been viewed paradoxically. For example, with artists like Edouard Manet it sparked scandal, while with Eugène Delacroix, it was considered revolutionary. Others, like Gustave Courbet, dared to explore more explicit scenes, while artists like Egon Schiele glorified the nude woman and the female body. More recently, Tom Wesselmann faced criticism for drawings considered pornographic, while figures like Henri Matisse cut forms, and Marcel Duchamp explored cubist shapes, changing the way the human body was perceived in art.
Erotic drawing has also evolved to be seen not only as a form of artistic expression but also as a technique for studying the beauty of the human body. Over the centuries, the live model has been a central point in art education, and drawing classes have developed this form of art in depth. This genre is essential for the training of professional artists as well as for amateur artists who seek to deepen their understanding of body representation.

Drawing the naked human body is a common exercise known as 'life drawing' that lets artists practice depicting the human figure. Artists also draw nude art for various other reasons, such as to represent the beauty of the human form or to express human emotion.
The main three types of drawing are realistic, symbolic, and expressive. Realistic drawing aims to imitate life, while symbolic drawing points to an outside meaning, and expressive drawing aims to communicate emotion to its viewer.
A full body drawing is referred to commonly as a figure drawing or a life drawing.
