I never thought about being able to get a superior result by throwing in some actual work from life. I'll bet you're right, though. I often sketch from life when I'm at a meeting or concert, or anywhere else where people stay still for protracted periods. It's definitely a challenge because of course they move, drat them, so I have to wait for them to get back into position or try for a blend. But lots of time I can capture them that way, and it's fun. They're usually pleased and surprised when they see that they've been sketched.
I will have to try incorporating some checks from life with clients who seem to lend themselves to that. Obviously that excludes young children, though! Or do you manage to do that as well?
