Dynamic Sketching is how he will improve his line control, not something for after the fact. It's kind of the seldom-mentioned prerequisite to everything else. The fact so many authors and online instructors omit how important raw manual dexterity is is unfortunate. It's probably due to the fact many of them have drawn so much since they were very young they've forgotten what being a clumsy beginner is really like. Of all the tutorials I've watched and books I've skimmed, I think only this video by Peter Han and Scott Robertson's book suggest a measured approach to this oft-ignored subject.

I can't draw very well yet as I'm a slacker, but I'd be in even worse shape if I couldn't even put lines where I wanted them to be, which is the state we find most no-mileage beginners in.
