Give them all a try! Once you find a few you really like, add them to your daily warmup routine and practice them… a lot.
Wow this was so hard for someone as impatient as me. I cannot tell you how many pages I filled and they always still looked pretty bad, pretty "scrawled," no matter how hard I tried to slow down. But I do like how this pattern turned out. I hope I can learn to slow down at some point enough to do this exercise well, but this is what i have for now.

It’s okay if they’re not perfect circles! You want to put more emphasis on building the good habits than the outcome at this point. Using your whole arm instead of just your wrist is a big one here. This is a good low-risk exercise to help build that habit. That, ghosting your lines before you put them on the paper, and the follow through. Focusing on those things will naturally slow you down. The nice, symmetrical circles will follow!
Got caught up and added in line warm ups. I'm not really the neatest when it comes this though
General poll: Do you tend to make your circles clockwise? counter-clockwise? And are you right or left handed? I haven't discovered a strong disposition toward making clockwise circles (I usually start at the bottom) or counter-clockwise (then I usually start at the top). I'm generally stronger on my left, but write & draw with my right hand (I'm old enough that being left-handed wasn't "allowed")
I’m right handed when I write or draw and usually go counter clockwise starting at the top. But depending on the task I can switch between left and right pretty easily.
The following a previously drawn circle exercise is pretty hard - so is trying to draw it within a given shape. After 3 or 4 sheets of nothing but circles, I started adding them into and around perspective boxes. XD
These are circles of my warmup! It was fun to draw a lot of circles, but the works are a little bit scary...
Drawing circles is too hard. I can see myself making progress with straight lines, but circles I don't know if I'm making progress.
Did the circle warm up exercise but added mushrooms and more! I added it some ellipses as well. You might recognize some familiar characters! :D
If you struggle with circles, try drawing a circle with a bottom of a cup and then trace freehand over that, and later on try freehand. It's the same principle with drawing a straight line with ruler first and then tracing over it by hand.
