I think you could learn some from it. Tips and perhaps inspiration.

Experiment/copy with things you see there in blockland and over time you'll see yourself getting (slightly) better

Thank you, I'll look at those

I find it easy to base it off of something. Like if you're making a city, and working on a building - go for a walk, or look for specific types of buildings on Google. I sometimes use Google's Street View to get a good idea. Then just recreate the building as closely as possible, but with the twist that it's now made out of plastic bricks.

It's pretty fool-proof actually, there's no way you can go wrong. Unless whatever you're using as a reference does look like crap in real-life.

This can be used for anything really though. Parks, forests, interiors - anything really.

And if what you're trying to build simply doesn't exist in real life, google image search "concept art _mybuildhere_"
Awdax:
Yeah looking at concept art for things can be great too. That's one of the steps developers have when modeling a map. They'll get some concept art and then the modelers will turn that 2D image into a 3-dimensional object to be used in the game - or movie if it's CGI. Plus there is some pretty cool concept art out there for lots of different stuff.
