I'm a non-artist, and I've read several books on how to draw, including the (in)famous "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." Every one of the books was way too advanced for my primitive skills, including the ones that claimed they were for absolute beginners.
I haven't tried this guy's exercises, but I applaud his approach. Just learning to control your pencil, learning to make smooth and organized marks on paper, are skills that many people (definitely including me) don't have.
