I can't wait to see what you can do! I have a pretty good eye for seeing if you've applied some of the concepts covered in the class ;) so don't skip any of the exercises and try them out! Tracing is perfectly fine for the exercises to get a feel for everything when starting out, but once you feel more comfortable I encourage you to take the training wheels off and try drawing it all on your own!

Happy Studies!
