I had so much fun at Drawing Jam sketching the excellent models that I didn’t
spend as much time looking for unwitting models – the other participants,
instructors giving demos, musicians, and other live entertainment in every
studio. But sometimes when I finished a drawing early and didn’t want to keep
picking at it until the model’s time was up, I’d draw the other participants
instead.
Once I had an ideal situation: An instructor was giving a demo of portrait
painting just behind me. Whenever the models took their five-minute breaks, I
would turn my chair around to sketch the instructor. When the models were back,
I’d turn back around again. I sketched the instructor a few minutes at a time over
the course of an hour, and his pose was nearly as motionless as the models’!

It is always fun to sketch the participants too. Nice work!
