Hi Lon -
What fun! Isn't drawing from life a rush?
I did two summers as a 20-something, doing profiles in chalk at Busch Gardens from life. Better pay than a regular summer job, plus it improved the art skills and gave me confidence that I could sell my work.
I understand a fair number of portrait artists started this way.
I get a similar experience now every year for a Christmas event - 2 solid days of drawing portraits in charcoal.
