Nice job. Marking as complete.
Ghosting lines need more shoulder with confidence as the lines are a bit wobbly.
Could have drawn more lines in the super imposition challenge. Fill out the page more.
Other than that it looks good.
Next Steps:
Practice ghosting more. Draw from shoulder with swift confident strokes.

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.
