Drawing Exercises

What's the best place to find free online painting and drawing lessons?

Hi all. First time asking a question here. I'm looking for a good website that has lessons and exercises for improving drawing and painting skills. Would be cool if it was more professional as I'm not interested in just painting cats, or landscapes.
