Hello Archiexanth, congratulation on attempting the Lesson 1. I am not sure if it is intentional or a mistake(either from the upload side or of my internet), but your link contains only one image, which is a single page of Superimposed lines exercise.
In the one page of Superimposed lines, your lines are confident and with little to no fraying from the beginning point, so thats really a good starting point.
If you have completed all the exercises from Lesson one, do make sure to upload them in a single tumblr link! Good luck and looking forward for your future uploads.

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.
