B: Draw from life until they acheive a modicum of skill in that area, and then only in black and white. Do not use color untill you have mastered this.

As one who is now having to catch up in this area, I definately have to agree. If I had started going to life drawing classes when I started pursuing portraiture in 1998, I believe my art would be much better today. It's tough to do and it's really humbling but it is worth every drop of sweat I put into it.
