Hello, I'll be taking a look at your work today!
Form Intersections
You exemplify a solid understanding of form, intersection, and hatching. However, the overall layout is too busy. You filled up the entire page as instructed, but because there are so many shapes, they end up clumping into groups (See here: smallgroups) It is best to draw the forms bigger and keep them together.
Other than that, the spheres are a bit wobbly. Draw through them 2-4 times to ensure their solidity. The intersections look convincing, especially the ones with the cubes.
Everyday Objects
Each of these drawings are well-constructed. Because of this, they are all visually appealing. I recommend making a square for every ellipse (see the top of the perfume) and noting angles when you draw curves. (see the bottom of the perfume and this demo from Uncomfortable: https://drawabox.com/lesson/6/1/curves). Be sure to check consistencies between the 2D plans and the 3D objects. The circle of the 4th 3D drawing is more compressed than the circle of its 2D counterpart. The 1st 3D drawing is less tapered than its 2D counterpart. Overall, your object drawings have good volume and form.
Next Steps:
You're ready for the 25 Wheel Challenge. Be careful with your hatching and composition.
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.

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.
