>Sheldon says if he wants to draw a straight line he'll use a ruler. If he wants to draw a circle he'll use a compass.

...and if I were making a mechanical drawing that's what I'd do as well. I would dispute that this kind of exercise is a 'distraction'. To me it's a prerequisite. It might be boring, but if you can't put lines where you want them how are you supposed to even follow along with Loomis or any other instructor to begin with? Manual dexterity exercises, drawing primitives and so on are in my mind drawing in their purest form, and are a foundation from which someone with no ability will build upon.
