well imo the only way to get good at painting something is actually to get familiar with the subject you painting and it's 3d form atleast simplified
i mean you can't paint believable head unless you know it's volumes because you won't be able to tell why there is change in color or value
yes you can learn how to blend etc and copy random shapes from a photo or other painting but you probably end up with random mix of blots on your canvas and won't be able to apply it in you own painting
