Can I level lockpicking solely through pickpocketing?

My rogue just dinged level 20 and she has been pretty lazy about leveling lockpicking. She did the first lockpicking quest in the Ghostlands, which I believe called for her lockpicking skill to at least be level 20. Leveling lockpicking is a bit of a distraction for me.
I have read that some recommend leveling it by pickpocketing junkboxes that randomly drop from humanoid mobs before I shank them. It looks like these mobs don't present themselves until level 20 at the earliest, with the junkboxes requiring only level 1 lockpicking skill.
If i pickpocket every humanoid mob I run across (within reason), will I be able to level my skill without having to take a break and go to some specific location to pick lockboxes?

/cast Pick Pocket
/stopcasting
/cast Cheap Shot
Replace Cheap Shot with your opener of choice...You'll have more boxes than you know what to do with.

The /stopcasting line is unneeded, and has been such for quite a long time.

Yea there are certain gaps between skillpoints where you'll need a crapton of lockboxes, when you could just go to another area and open some orange chests or something. I found it fun, though time comsuming.

I leveled my lockpicking without ever touching those boxes that spawns, so yes; it is possible.
The rewards was not great, tho'. A few silver and some poisons - but loads of health and mana pots.
I suggest finding spots with easy to kill humanoids and do cycles of them, picking them clean then killing them. It won't take you long to max your skill for your level.
