This may come across as a bit harsh, but I feel as if you weren't ready for this lesson. Your form intersections show that you're still struggling to internalize certain lessons from L1 and L2. Your lines are overshooting their end points; Your boxes don't all have converging sides; Your ellipses are sloppy and their minor axis doesn't align with the center of your cylinders; You're not adequately using lineweight to separate your forms. I have criticisms of your constructions as well, but many of them stem from incomplete understanding of the fundamentals learned in earlier lessons.
Next Steps:
Redo lessons 1, 2, box challenge and cylinder challenge. With particular attention to the following:
-
Not overshooting your lines
-
Convergence for your boxes and cylinders
-
Improving the general consistency of your ellipses
-
Properly aligning the minor axis for your ellipses
-
Using lineweight to separate and define your forms

noted, working on it now. thank you very much!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
