Life Drawing Live! is a British television special which first aired on BBC Four on 4 February 2020.

The two-hour programme was broadcast live and featured a life drawing class during which experts guided a group of artists in how to create a life drawing, while viewers at home were also encouraged to participate, by creating their own work. Presented by Josie d'Arby, Life Drawing Live! was aired to coincide with the broadcast of Shock of the Nude, a series presented by Mary Beard on BBC Two.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2020/05/life-drawing-live |title=Life Drawing Live! |work=BBC Media Centre |publisher=BBC |access-date=25 January 2020}} The programme was accompanied by award-winning artists Daphne Todd and Lachlan Goudie, and featured pre-recorded tips from artist Diana Ali.
