Dawg, c'mon. This isn't rocket science. Pick two points on the page, then draw a line between them MULTIPLE TIMES. Go over the same line like I do repeatedly in this example. And CONFIDENTLY STROKE ACROSS THE PAGE. Do not slowly move your pen from point A to Point B. Just stroke across the page in one SOLID motion. Draw multiple lines over the same line.

And of course you should focus more on lesson 1, You shouldn't move on until you have some idea of exactly what it's trying to teach you.

In this example you posted you don't stroke over the same line multiple times and there is also still some wobbling. If this is starting to frustrate you, you should try learning from multiple sources for a bit. But for real, you need to read EXACTLY what he says and do EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS. Like I shouldn't have to go through the lesson myself and point out exactly where he says this stuff, but here it is

>the student is focusing mostly on the accuracy of the stroke, and in order to continually follow the path they've set out for themselves, they sacrifice the flow of the line.
>Between these two priorities - accuracy and flow - it is in fact flow that must be put first. When you execute your mark, you need to draw with a confident, persistent pace - enough to keep your brain from interfering and attempting to course-correct as you go.

Just keep practicing doing your lines and ellipses. You need to. It isn't that big of a deal. There are a lot of things that you won't understand just by doing it over and over again, but drawing a decent line is the one thing that you WILL get just by doing it over and over again.
