Imposed Lines/Ghosted Planes: Try to reduce the fraying at the end, practice by doing smaller lines then increase them in increments as a warmup
Also try to not overshoot your lines, your last 2 drawings are great (Imposed lines and Ghosted planes)
Your Ellipses look a bit messy, don't redraw them too often, maybe try to figure out if drawing by the wrist/arm/shoulder (but in general, practice shoulder) is better or change the direction/start point
Maybe try to practice more accurate ghosting (the redlines - perspective exercise - are there to help you to be more accurate)
You need to be able to estimate VP's (not perfectly) in the future and the upcoming 250 box challenge

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.
