Good! I'd only suggest working on individual things. Like sometimes, I'll just get out my good 'ol sketchpad and find some stock photos of eyes to practice with (look on DeviantART for some - they have really good ones). Or lips, noses, ears, etc. And once you get that general knowledge down it's a lot easier to draw from photographs
Happy drawing!
BTW, which tablet do you have? For my birthday I got the Cintiq
Very awesome. And Corel's a good program!
P.P.S. - some people ARE way harder to draw than others; I know the feeling :/
