Repost! Think previous got lost in the void.
Just finished with Lesson 1 (Lines, Ellipses, Boxes). I already feel an improvement just by doing these. I'll be doing variations of these exercises now as my daily warmup!
Here is my homework submission - http://imgur.com/gallery/WcP31 Thanks again!

Just wanted to drop in and say hello, as I'm new to Reddit and this community. I'm very excited to have found your lessons and I'll be starting to work through them today.
I've been drawing for a week now and have already seen some improvement, mostly just through experimentation. I've tried searching online for help... but that just ended up with information overload! I live on an island so there is nowhere for me to go study art:(
Here is a link to my weeks worth of art - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/318353-BioAndy-s-Book-(Beginner)?p=3955309#post3955309
That way you can see where I'm starting at before doing your exercises.
Thanks again,

Thanks for all the great advice Uncomfortable!
You are correct, I was doing my ellipses in 2 strokes, the top half and the bottom. I feel much better now doing my ellipses the way you had intended.
Just an fyi.
My line work on some of my exercises may look a bit wobbly. I'm currently using a spiral sketchbook and whenever my wrist gets near the edge and I have to hold it up, all my lines get really wobbly. I have a drawing board coming this week which should help a lot, as the only table I have has a really rough texture on it.
Going over my rough perspective with a different color and ruler sort of gave me that "aha" moment. I felt much more comfortable redoing those exercises after that.
