From a live model!
One of the main reasons I recently dropped out of my drawing II class in college was because the teacher only brought out one live model to work from in two semesters! And that model was in direct lighting! So, I set up a friend in the appropriate lighting and started to work from her.
For the most part, I think drawing from a live model is much easier than from photograph, except for the eyes, I have a lot of trouble working them out.
This is what I have so far from my live model. Not very impressive I'm afraid. Since I'm on spring break, she can't sit for me until next Monday. So I'm forced to look at it and it's many flaws (especially her left eye) for another 8 days.
