Superior to lurking on the forums is contributing on the forums. Try to figure how to answer the questions that come up, and post those answers. If you can't explain something to someone else, chances are you don't understand it all that well yourself. It's worth going back in the forums a few years and reading the posts where techniques are discussed. Again, spend some time trying to figure out the answers yourself before checking the answer at the "back of the book".

Also, spend some time looking at the graphics you encounter in your everyday life. Ask yourself how you would do something similar with OmniGraffle's tools. Spend some time trying to do so with appropriately complex examples.
