Watchers

So I think after quitting drawing cold turkey, I'm ready to start drawing again.  The only problem is, I'm afraid of going stagnant and hitting a huge block like I did the last time.  It was becoming a bit frustrating seeing some beautiful work on here, and seeing those people constistantly getting better and better, and I was stuck in a huge rut.
I'm thinking this time out, I need to make a real effort to be a bit more well-rounded, drawing wise.  So my idea for this time around is to do what I did when I first started drawing - copying.  I want to find some drawings or paintings that have aspects to them that I admire, and try my damndest to copy them, and learn how to get those results.  I need to practice working with colour, realism, backgrounds, and everyday objects, and copying seems to be the best way to learn.
Does anyone think that this is a good/bad idea?

great gallery, and i just thought of characters that'd look awesome in your style- the gals from puni puni poemi.

they really work considering how often the series poses them in sexy outfits and poses :)

Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
You can't live like this

It's cause I'm lazy and am hardly on this site.
Anyway, how are you? I haven't heard from you in ages! So when is the wedding, or are you guys married now? Either way, good luck and congratulations.
And now, off I go to watch Divorce Court and to clean up my boyfriends messy place. ZOOM!
