First,There is a little wobbles in longer lines. But don't worry, you will get better as you continue to draw. There is no frayin on both end in ghosted lines exercise. That's good. In ghosted plane your lines getting better. The ellipses are touching each other in table of ellipses exercise. They are good.There are no floating in ellipses in plane exercise.They are touching the boundaries.The boxes are also good.The corner are close in rotated box exercise which is good.in organic perspective exercise, I can see that your boxes are clearly rotating. Your understanding of boxes and perspective will improve as you do the 250 boxes challenge.Great work. Cheers mate. Have a great day!!!!
Next Steps:
You can continue to 250 boxes challenge

I agree, I would also suggest rotating the page and ghosting the lines until you are comfortable, try relaxing your shoulder a bit, maybe changing the speed of your strokes might help with the wobble. Good luck on your journey!

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.
