Every now and then friends or acquaintances are posing for me, but that's on an irregular basis and I need a certain frequency. And in addition, not everyone is willing to pose nude ... so no, that's not an evidency. But you understand, if the opportunity arises, I grab the opportunity with both hands!
Few years ago I gave art lessons (several courses in fine arts) to young people as well as to adults, so I would be able to teach you some lessons, poeticsnak!:)

I have followed a few lessons in my past. I always want to learn how to make portraits because that is something i really find hard to do. I tried it over and over but I am never happy with the outcome.
Drawing has everything to do with good observation and that's something everybody has to learn. And after that, you have to experiment and practice.
There are playful exercises I used in my classes, inspired on this book:
Some background information: http://www.learn-to-draw-right.com/right-brain-drawing.html
It's a non-convential approach on drawing.
The exercises are developed to look in a different way, loosening and the childlike joy of drawing. Totally not result-oriented, but playful, draw to draw.
It helped me greatly in developing my own skills, so I can recommend it to everyone!
