I really like you work and your lines are tight!
I have to say you should read more carefully the exercise. You seems to misread the exercise, such as:
1-you miss lot of lines in the ghosted planes (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/ghostedplanes) you can see that you are missing the "cross line" that should bisect the plane.
2-In some of the organics perspective I think you miss the point of "specifically making the boxes that are closer larger and those far away smaller in order to convey the depth of the scene." (https://drawabox.com/lesson/1/organicperspective).
I think you should concentrate in reading more carefully.

Sorry, it's my bad for misreading about the ellipses. I also understand why it seems like I'm randomly drawing big and small boxes in the organic perspective exercise, but they are getting smaller as I go further down the line - the line a drew to guide my boxes overlaps, so I understand why it is confusing.
Thank you for the feedback though - I really appreciate it! Do I need to redo any exercise?

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
