Forgive me Art Czar for I have sinned. I might've used a pencil on the form intersections portion of the lesson. :<
Also I've noticed that the lessons are getting longer and longer to finish. Is this normal?

Oh wow xD! No worries, these lessons are taking me a while to complete too. I'm not very creative so it's takes me a long time to finish each one.

Oh Sycra! I'm subscribed to this guy on YT believe it or not XD. I saw this video to completion and it's really inspired me to work hard at developing my artistic skills. Thanks a lot nonetheless! Go and kick those boxes butts!

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know there's value in copying. Before I would copy passively. Now that I'm more focused on learning art, I use the image as a reference and try to replicate the pose/clothe/style as close as I can without spending too much time on it. I notice that it's much more productive copying this way rather than spending large periods of time trying to get everything "perfect".

I am 22 and I've never really drawn seriously before in my life. I've done little doodles here and there but I was never serious about it.

The extend of my "formal" art education is in high school when I had to take Art 1 as part of my curriculum.

My aspiration is to become a decent enough artist to be able to create my own manga/comics. I have tons of story ideas with massive feels-factor. I just don't have enough skill to illustrate them. Art is a hobby for now.

Previous works...hrm. I've uploaded some stuff on my DA. http://maburaho26.deviantart.com/
I mainly do copies and although it isn't recommended to copy since not a lot of learning come out of it, I still do it just as a form of relaxation/play.

Ahh okay. I must've misunderstood the dissection part of the lesson. I'll give that another go. Along with the rest of the topics in the lesson......sigh. LOL I should've just PM'd you with questions regarding the assignment before I began. And yeah about the form intersection, I first drew all the lines for the shapes and then I started "piecing it together" with a pen. I just erased all the pencil marks for the end result. Once again, I didn't know the emphasis was on the practice and not the final results. Although, these lessons are all about practice and not end results. Otherwise they wouldn't be homework. Right? I'll get back to you a week from now with the updates. Thanks for the feedback!
