CrystalBeam, I will not disagree with you. I think it took me about three tries to get the second side to look remotely like the first one.

Who else thinks drawing the EXACT same thing on both sides is hard!?

Maybe I tried to do this too quickly, the profile of my mother doesn't look anything like her.

are these lessons good for graphic tablets too?
I'd like to learn how to draw on paper but I'd like it more if I'd be able to do it on my tablet. Photoshop and Illustrator give me endless resources.
should I learn how to draw on paper first, should I go on with both? as far as I am now, I can say it's harder to draw on the tablet than on the paper

I'd suggest trying on paper first, then on the tablet. See which feels more natural, but also keep the future in mind. If you're planning to be a digital artist, I'd suggest you get used to that tablet A S A P.

I plan on getting a tablet of my own as soon as I reach a decent level in drawing. That way, I'll have an excuse to persuade my parents in buying one xD.

Also, experience does matter a lot. I'm new to drawing myself so even basic things like doing curved lines or doing perfect ovals/circles don't feel as easy as I thought at a first glance.

The graphics tablet needs a lot of practice so if you want, do these lessons on appear but before you submit your work on here, scan them in, trace over them on Photoshop using your tablet and colour it in too.

it gives you good practice in using the tablet as well as teaches you to draw. Once you're used to the tablet, you can even draw normally on there. Keep practicing!
