Building a portfolio




Maybe this has been discussed already, but I'm fairly new here, and although I've been spending a lot of time reading here, I'm still not sure how to approach this issue.

I really need to develop a portfolio of human portraits (as opposed to pets) and wonder what the best approach is. If I ask someone, say a neighbor to sit for me, they might feel obllgated to buy the painting from me and my real purpose is to get the practice painting from life and building a portfolio. There are some really cute children in the neighborhood, but again, the parents will think I'm just trying to sell them a painting. Any advice?
