They say that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Well, the same can be said for most of my lines. Any advice on how to draw good, coherent lines?

It's a matter of practice to increase your dexterity :) You are on the right track! My advice would be incorporating this kind of practice every day if you can. Use both sides of copy paper to save cost.
Can someone please explain how the measuring with the pencil thing really works?
Look up 'how to measure with a pencil art' and there should be some good guides. But the idea is basically you stick your arm out and measure, using your pencil, the size of something. You put your thumb/finger where that measurement is and now you can compare the size that you measured to something else. This gives you the relative sizes of two things.
So lets say Line A is half the length of your pencil, and Line B is a quarter the length of your pencil. Now when you go to your drawing, you know that Line A should be twice as long as Line B.

Here are my first, second and third attempts! I'm having trouble shading consistent values, any help?
Hi Chirutan, I'm starting the course too. I hope it's ok if I dare give some advices.
I'd say on your 3rd work, in the middle of the pear you shaded a kinda shapeless area. For better result, take time to draw precisely the shape of the area you're going to shade.
For consistent values, you can practice to shade squares. Don't bore you out though ! 5 minutes as a warm up and let's go. It comes with years of practice anyway.

Hi! I’m so excited to be a part of this community now and I’m really looking forward to this course! I like to draw in my free time, so I’m not exactly a beginner, but I’d like to sharpen my skills and get more confident when drawing 🙂

What do you think, guys?

Can beginners take this course? Do I need to have any art knowledge beforehand or will this course teach me everything that I need to know, including the basics? For example, I know little about figure drawing, character art and drawing faces right now. I also know little about drawing basics and fundamentals. I'm interested in drawing from reference, imagination and a combination of both. Is this course appropriate for me? I'm thinking about taking this course along with the Drawing Basics course by Stan Prokopenko.

This course is definitely for beginners getting into digital media, though I'd probably go through at least a bit of the Drawing Basics course before jumping into this one. If you look at the lessons, we go through all the basics of drawing/painting digitally, but we also jump into figure drawing/painting as part of our practice and you'll likely want to have a bit of figure practice under your belt before trying to learn that + a new medium.
If you get through the Shapes section of the Drawing Basics course you'll be in a decent place to start this one and you'll be in an even better place if you get through the Values section as well.
Hope that helps!

Hello everyone,
I’m starting this course again, but this time I really want to focus. Last time, I was very distracted. I took part in many courses, but I didn’t finish any. Now it’s time to take things step by step.
My goal is to draw in a very realistic way and, of course, to paint. I’m especially interested in still life, landscapes, and figure drawing/painting. My biggest challenge is that I get fascinated by too many things, which makes it hard to focus on just one.
I graduated from art school and realized that continuing to learn on my own is quite difficult. That’s why I truly appreciate this site because of its community. I believe having people to communicate with and support each other’s growth is incredibly important. Wish me luck, and I wish the same for all of you.
