Overall, you've done well here. Most of the issues I see are minor things that are very normal, and than can be corrected with a bit of practice.
Ghosting your lines is looking fairly good overall. The earlier exercises show a bit of wobbliness and diverging that you seem to addres as the exercises progress, which is good.
Ellipses are strong and consistent overall. They consistently reach the boundaries and stay within those boundaries, which is good.
Boxes are overall okay, but there is plenty of room for improvement. I notice that the lines that construct them can be rather wobbly at times, something that can be improved as you improve ghosting technique and speed. A number of later boxes also have issues with lines not quite connecting each other, not converging to a vanishing point properly, or having some warped lines here and there. Again, this is something that should be improvable with practice.
Next Steps:
I say that you should move on to lesson 2. While there is room for improvement, especially in the boxes area, you overall seem to have a good grasp on the concepts at play. Continue with Drawabox, and do some of the simpler exercises as warmups to improve your line, ellipse, and box abilities further.
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.
