This is great. The attempts made on the rotated boxes really show what you picked up from the lesson. Majority of the boxes were fully tapered and the lines stay parallel to their neighbors. Their was alot of carefulness with the elipses, and the tunnel elipses. Although, I notice that on the ghosting method page (which is good to practice.), the page will aid with most of the difficulties like aiming to gain confident lines and parallel them for your boxes.
You got a complete understanding of space, you just need to practice on confident lining with the ghosting method. Trust me I understand that its pretty hard, although muscle memory and practice will give you a big jump in improvement.
You've got it :)

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.
