the biggest thing about studio work is lighting (well I guess that applies to all photography, huh?).
Christopher Grey's book on studio lighting is excellent. Get it and then replicate all the different types of lighting in there until you can do it in your sleep.
If you more into things than people, get shiny things and try that for a challenge. A simple, but sometimes not so easy task, is ye old still life - fruit (round, shiny, colorful) in a glass bowl (so you can learn to light clear, yet reflective, things).
