Hi,
I don't understand when it's ok to use the ruler and when I should use the freehand method in this lesson...
Thank you

You're allowed to use a ruler in your everyday object drawings, wherever you feel you'll benefit from it. The form intersections should still be freehanded, although if you did them with a ruler I wouldn't be that concerned.
Thank you! I will try some objects freehanded and some with the ruler.
To be clear, it is best that you use a ruler for them all. The purpose is so that you are able to focus on the meat of the lesson, without being distracted by other matters. For working on your freehand linework, you've got the earlier lessons and exercises.
Oh okay alright I didn't understand that part!
Stan Prokopenko's had been teaching figure drawing as far back as I can remember, even when I was just a regular student myself. It's safe to say that when it comes to figure drawing, his tutelage is among the best.
