For me, whenever I doll, I edit some of the body parts that look a little off. Sometimes I do have to go find a reference, to see what the arm really should look like. Though it's not making it from scratch, it's still a learning experience XD

Also, though it's definitely not the same as actually drawing, staring at a body up-close for so long xDD The proportions, shape, and so on can really get ingrained into your mind! One day you'll be drawing and say, "wait, this doesn't look right. I remember how hips are supposed to look cause I work with those bases all the time..."

It's true it'd be super slow, but I feel people are still getting a little something from it


Very very good advice, though. It really frustrates me when people don't go out of their comfort zone, and actually try to improve. I was in a Human Form Drawing class for a semester, and I learned *so much*!! I never would have tried drawing a bunch of naked people with crazy poses and weird light-sources if I hadn't done that class, but after it, I want to all the time XD.
