Boxes looking clean, confident, and accurate. You did leave a few incomplete though. I'm no pro and you did way better than me, but I'd say you're safe to move on after you finish the two prior exercises. The only criticism I would give is not to go over a line again, which I noticed you did if you didn't hit the mark quite right on some. I believe once you attempt a line, that's it, move onto the next point whether the previous line did the job or not. Great work!

Thanks a lot for taking your time to critique the exercise.

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.
