A few backwards converging lines on the first few boxes but you quickly correct that and I can see progression from start to finish nice job.

Hi OSTR1CH,
Is so cool to see your evolution, from the 3D perception to your line work!
The only think I would advise you is that you could be more experimental, I saw that most of all your boxes is like the view point is so far away, but imagine that they were all 3 inside your page, the distortion of the box would help understand the perspective in a caricature way. Well, just a suggestion.
Besides that I can see that you understand the 3D space quite well! Tap yourself on the back and be proud for what you did! You deserve it!
Next Steps:
Lesson 2!
We will go together on this! xD

The first couple of pages you seem to draw the perspective line the wrong way, the rule I use is to follow where the initial "Y" is pointing. The line on the boxes are nice and pretty but the boxes themselves seem to be on the smaller side. It is generally harder to esimate a vanishing point on smaller boxes, less guiding distance. Other than that you seem good to go.

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.
