Overall, great execution.
Rough perspective exercise; I see a pattern of weak lines. Perhaps some of the boxes were drawn at the elbow? Maybe the lines were marked without ghosting?
I'm led to believe the table of ellipses exercises were drawn without much ghosting. A number of the ellipses have sharp corners. The ellipses in planes, a few do not make enough contact with the edges of the planes.
I like the way you darkened some of the lines in the organic boxes exercise.
Next Steps:
Hold onto your technique as you move forward to the next lesson. Give yourself time to stage your marks with ghosting.

Hi!
Wasn't shure what kind of feedback could be on this level, but your vision became really useful.
I agree with all of your observations.
Thank you for your time and attentiveness.

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.
