Hello,
You can post partial hw on the discord channels if you need feedbacks on specific assignments (be sure to use the appropriate channel like #lesson1).
If you submit for critique (official or community) you need to post all of the exercices of lesson 1, in all 3 sections (lines, ellipses, boxes).
I'm addind this if it helps:

Feel free to go back through lesson 0 materials and FAQ when needed, and/or ask for clarifications. I did several times before completing lesson 1.
When you post for community and official critique on Drawabox.com, it should be the entirety of the lesson or challenge. A proper critique will be thorough and cover your understanding of the entire lesson.
As Emelianth said, posting just part of a lesson or challenge is best in the Discord and you can get some feedback on a specific struggle.
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.
On the flipside, they tend to be on the cheaper side of things, so if you're just getting started (beginners tend to have poor pressure control), you're probably going to destroy a few pens - going cheaper in that case is not a bad idea.
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.
