Thank you :) I'm wanting to get started on Lesson 1, but currently do not have a felt tip pen. Would it be fine if I used a regular pen or pencil instead for the time being?

Yeah, I definitely think getting a firmer grasp on the fundamentals can only help with design.
Here are a few pieces:

I'm 22 years old and have enjoyed drawing ever since I was younger. Everyone in my family enjoys arts and crafts, so I was kind of born into the creativity.
Unfortunately, I was never really able to take any classes. I went to a small high school without an art department and lived too far away from any larger cities to take classes elsewhere.
When I graduated high school I went to a community college to study graphic design. The only traditional class I took was Drawing 1, which I really enjoyed, though I felt very far behind a lot of my classmates. I was complimented on my line work more than anything else, so I guess that's my strength if I have one. :P
I just want to use drawing as a hobby. I have quite a few hobbies already (I know, "Jack of all trades, master of none"), but drawing is something I would really like to improve upon and obviously something I will need if I ever plan on furthering my graphic design education.
I don't really have any previous work to show. All of my sketches are on paper and I'm too lazy to take pictures (and they're not very good). The majority of my graphic design work is vector based, so I feel that's kind of unrelated.
Like most others, I found out about this sub through /r/digitalpainting, which I discovered after obsessing over some of the crazy work people do over at /r/redditgetsdrawn.
Looking forward to diving in and tackling some of these lessons! Thank you for doing this. :)

I live in a pretty rural area, so we're a little limited when it comes to art supplies, but I'll be sure to snag some felt tips next time I'm in town.
