oldat,
it depends on what you want to achieve & how self - conscious you are. If you don't like people watching you create then sit up against a wall so folk can't come up behind & start commenting. Most of these comments are almost always positive though.
Also you have to decide how you want to draw - contour or more detailed.
If I were you I would sit myself in a booth at a cafe and then you have a captive group of models - people sit fairly still quite happily sipping their cuppa & for the price of your own (& a few refills) you have a cosy spot with a great variety of subjects. Start out with a few quick sketches like 1 minute to 3 minute sketches ( makes you loosen up) then do a half hour sketch.
Just my opinion.
Have fun whatever you do.
