The lines making up the boxes don't look bad, but the hatching lines look a little sketchy and don't reach across the whole side they're on. Keep as much mindfulness when drawing the hatching lines as you do drawing any other line.

Hi! I agree with Somethingx that your hatching lines look like they could be ghosted a bit better. I also want to add that you seem to be going over the lines of your box multiple times. While you should go over the silhouette of the box once, after you finish the whole box, to add line weight, I'm seeing 3 lines in some areas, and places you're going over the interior lines as well. This suggests to me that the extra lines are meant to be fixing your mistakes. Don't go over your lines to fix mistakes. Leave them the way they are and try to fix them in the next one.

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.
