Asking honestly since I'm thinking about doing the same to improve my figures; is it worth copying drawings out of a book like this nonstop? What's the goal? I'm not trying to be condescending; you're much better than I am and I'm genuinely curious about the positives / negatives of an approach like this, especially since I'm starting at a beginner level with regard to figures, but with a trained(ish) eye. Also, how long do you spend on each piece? Ie, are you super careful with the angles / line weight / line quality / proportion on each one (with regard to matching the reference), taking time to make it match as best as your eye can muster, or is it more of a quantity thing? Or does it depend on what you want to absorb / take away from it?
