Posing for spanking drawings
I had a new modelling experience a couple of weeks ago: I was asked to pose for a spanking drawing. This sort of work has long attracted me, but I hadn’t pursued it. When the offer came, though, I all but bounced with enthusiasm.
I was contracted to pose for a spanking book cover.
You will of course know Abel of The Spanking Writers. In addition to the collection of the blog’s best entries, which is already out, he’s going to publish a book of his short stories. Quite a few of them have to do with schoolgirls, and I would be the schoolgirl on the cover. (BTW, check out Abel’s post yesterday about giving a girl her first caning, and her response today. *fans self*)
Just as modeling for photos and films is a submissive experience for me, so has posing for the sketches has turned out to be - in a very different way, of course. The artist, C., isn’t a domme; she was simply sketching. The submission was all in my head. A great place for it, I find.
For the first of the drawings, I was bending over the back of a large arm-chair, wearing only my white school shirt. Toes pointed, arms stretched and straining, I spent an extremely painful half an hour over that chair - and there wasn’t even a caning involved. Keeping the exact position in which I’d been placed took all of the concentration, patience and self-control I could summon up while trying to blank out the pain in my limbs and back. I’d thought before that spanking photos were difficult, with endless impact shots and all the bending and posing; well, compared to posing for a life sketch, photo-shoots are just mildly uncomfortable.
If you’ve read my blog for long enough, you can already guess that the more I had to suffer, the more I fell in love with the experience.
All the while, struggling to breathe as the tall back of the chair pressed into my tummy, biting my lip to keep focusing on the right position, I could hear a whisper in my mind: “There, young lady. Stay just like that. You know what will happen if I see a single move. You don’t want to spoil the picture, do you?” Imaginary, but no less cruel for his non-existence master smirked as he heard me whimper. He was dressed in a 16-century frock coat; I could see the sun play on the hilt of his sword. His riding whip tapped against the slashed velvet of his trousers. I trembled, but I remained still. Oh no, I didn’t want to spoil the picture.
The second sketch hadn’t been planned, but as I did some stretches after we were done, C. suddenly had the idea of sketching me with my hands on my head, facing an open window, a large desk beside me. (The Headmaster’s desk, obviously.) She would put some playing fields outside, so that the girl in the drawing knew what she was missing as she waited for her punishment. Perhaps, it could go on the back cover, or inside the book. It was a spur-of-the-moment sketch, but I loved the idea of being that girl.
You would have thought that such a simple, familiar position, which required no bending, stretching or staying essentially en-point for half an hour, would be quite easy.
Well, I thought so. Naive me. It wasn’t just that the hands-on-your-head-and-face-the-wall thing is a punishment in itself, and was never going to be pleasant. It was also that I was posed in a very particular eye-pleasing way, which had nothing to do with my natural posture. Where in a normal scene or a video I would subtly move around to get more comfortable, here this would mean I would never be able to find that precise pose again. So I stayed still. And waited. And waited. And bit my lip, and closed my eyes, and waited.
The pain was worth it in the end, when I saw the ready sketches. Unable to recognise myself from the back, I could just enjoy these for the spanking pictures they were: simple, but powerful. I’m looking forward to showing off the completed drawings when they’re done.
And to posing for some more, one of these days. Even if the positions are ultimately not painful, the imaginary master with his imaginary riding crop will still be there to make sure I remained in place and not spoiled the picture.

I just can’t wait to see those drawings! Sounds superb.
I’m glad you enjoyed suffering thru and fantasizing during “stress positions” but wouldn’t you and the sketch artist be better off taking a quick photograph and then working from that? I know I must be some kind of sketch philistine but I still want to see the finished product.
Tiggs, I have no idea what difference it makes, if any, to have a live model as opposed to a photo… C. took some photos for reference as well, so I guess they help, but I assume having an actual person does something for the artist that a photo can’t do…
Maybe we should ask Pandora; she’s an artist :)
Brilliant news, what could be better than a book of Abel’s stories with the beautiful Adele gracing the cover…and having suffered delightfully to get there.
Do we have to wait (impatiently) long before book comes out?
You’d have to ask Abel about that, Sarah… I’m not sure where he’s at. But you better believe that *as soon* as my bum is on sale on Amazon, I’ll be posting about it ;)
I’ve never had the pleasure of posing for erotica (silly conservative Texas town), but I get alot of satisfaction posing for a vanilla artist. All that muscle strain is worth it to see the final product!
Adele, you’ll be pleased to learn that I’ve used the first sketch to create a painting, which will be the front cover of Abel’s book. I’ve added a couple of details - a headmasterial hand and cane, a few stripes - which I think add to the scene.
The second sketch - you with hands on head, staring out of the headmaster’s window onto the playing field - will be used as the basis of a pen-and-ink drawing, I think - not sure whether it will be the back cover or an internal picture.
Anyway, thank you for being such a great model. Life drawing tends to be far more effective when translated onto the page than drawing from photos: a 2D image painted from a 2D image (photo) somehow doesn’t have quite the same resonance. And when it has such an effect on the model as well…so much the better!
