The ellipsis in planes are way too small, and they seem to wobble a bit. Try ghosting them in a much larger size so that they hit on all four sides and try to keep the loops a bit more consistent as they seem to cut off in a random area of the ellipse. Also try to keep your dots small so that the ghosted lines cover it when they cross over the dots. Also your ghosted lines seem to wobble a lot, try to be more confident in your mark making by practicing your ghosting and trust in your muscle memory more. Also don't slow down as your brain will make your arm wobble when making the mark, you want to do it fast so that your muscles do the work for you. Remember, confidence is key. Hope you find this helpful and have a nice day!

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.
