I've been working on 1.1 for a week for 30min a day and there isn't any improvement. I wanted to try other exercises to see if that would help.

The purpose of the assigned quantity is not for you to necessarily see improvement over that amount. It's to produce a body of work that, once you're done the lesson, someone else can critique in order to identify whether you understand the purpose/goal of each exercise, and whether you're moving in the right direction.
As laid out in Lesson 0 (which if you have not gone through, I strongly recommend you do), you should not be grinding away at one exercise until you feel satisfied - relying on our own arbitrary standards tends to lead to a lot of wasted time and effort.

I appreciate you are trying to improve on 1.1 exercises however I would strongly recommend that you simply complete the amount of work each exercise requires of you. Not more, no less. You might of missed that during Lesson 0 so here's a link to it: https://drawabox.com/lesson/0/3/gettingthemost
Each Lesson builds upon the concepts of exercises in previous lessons so I wouldn't worry about seeing improvement yet (especially after only one week).
Looking at Lesson 1.1 Superimposed lines it looks like you only need to do 2 pages of them. Here's a link to that: https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/4/homework
I wish you well,

I did read through L0. Okay so just follow the amount of pages the homework says and move on?

Yes, don't keep doing it until it looks good! Do your best, only the number of times assigned, and keep moving forward.
