How about keeping a sketchbook?

Practice is key to drawing. Drawing ANYTHING. A sketchbook small enough to keep with you to pull out anytime there's a free 30 seconds to do a gesture drawing or contour would provide invaluable experience. The beauty is, no one needs to see them and judge.

The bonus is, tracing becomes a tool, and drawing becomes second nature.

My two cents..
