Today, in my art class we had to paint a nude portrait of a fat, old woman. About halfway through the piece, and while painting her fat rolls, I realized she was the only person other than myself I had ever seen naked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I found out my mom is the nude model for an art class at my college. 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 looked over my next homework assignment for art class. It was to draw a portrait of my best friend. I can't think of anyone besides my mother. FML
Today, I saw a naked woman for the first time. Too bad it was my 73-year-old grandmother, who was doing gymnastics in the nude. I can’t unsee this. FML
Today, I was putting the finishing touches on my portrait of a young boy in art class. I asked my teacher if she could help correct the bad parts of my portrait. She said, "Well that would take all day and I just don't have the time." She was serious. I thought this was my best work yet. 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 finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You really do sound like a judgmental dick. You honestly couldn't see any beauty in the body of the person you were painting? Really? Just old and fat? The teachers usually choose certain models because they appreciate that person's body in a singular way, not just "because." I mean, really? Halfway through the piece, and you saw nothing beautiful about this person?

Why does everyone assume the OP hasn't looked at **** or saw a movie with nudity? For all we know, this was just the first time the OP saw a naked person IN REAL LIFE/IN PERSON.

Just socialise more, have and go to house parties, you'll soon end up in a situation with lots of naked people if even you don't get any...

I agree with #15. Beautiful, perfectly-bodied people are boring to paint. I'm disappointed in the fact that you're taking up a spot in an art class that's probably part of an underfunded program that someone else could probably appreciate better.

I'd probably go insane trying to paint her. That's really a bummer to.

What's with people and suddenly realizing how shitty their sex lives are doing a certain mundane event? No, seriously. I'm tempted to post "Today, I was eating a sandwich, and I realized it's the only thing I've ever eaten out. FML" Just to see if it'll go through unlike any of the real FMLs I've ever written, since it seems like no one ever posts anything good anymore. No, if you're realizing for the first time you can't get any, go to a strip club. Get off FML, because NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.
