Started with a 0.25mm fine liner as it was all I had, and I had to wait for an online order of 0.5mm's since the quarantine has all the shops closed. All exercises were done with 0.25, except the Organic Perspective ones which were done with 0.5mm.
Yo!
Lines in general: make sure you take your time when placing your pen onto the start point. And for the superimposed lines be mindful of the shape of the initial line.
For boxes, try to not go over a line twice or extend it. Try and do your lines in one go even if they end up looking like crap -- confidence over accuracy for now.
It also looks like you have slight arching when you've gained some speed in your lines. Experiment with slightly arching in the opposite direction when you see that happening.
You should make ellipses a part of your warmup. I suggest the ellipses in planes exercise to hit both the ghosted lines and ellipses muscles.
Feel free to move onto the boxes challenge!
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
