How to find models for portrait drawing

How to find models for portrait drawing - As an art tutor, I often hear from beginner artists that they can't draw portraits from life because hiring models is expensive. Here's the question - have you thought of drawing self-portraits or have you ever asked your friends to pose for free in return for a free portrait sketch? The best model that is always available to pose for a portrait free of charge is yourself. How many self-portraits have you done last week? If none, there is no reason to complain. You can always take a mirror and start sketching. Finding a model is not a problem; many use it as an excuse, though. Also, there are other ways of drawing from life.
