I took a life drawing class a year back. I vent mostly to practice my art, but I also wanted to meet new art friends. I have also attended sketch-meets in my city that I found through Facebook.
In my opinion, a lot (if not most) of the people at the life drawing class were not really artists, but rather seniors who just wanted something to do. There were only a few people there between 20-30 years old. However, I did end up connecting with some professional concept artists and designers, so it was not a total loss. And of course, I got the chance to practice my drawing skills.
The sketch-meets were much better for meeting friends and networking, so I really recommend those in that aspect. You can probably find some in your local area on Facebook, otherwise, you may want to look into setting up a one yourself. If you stick with it, it should grow nicely and attract more people over time.
