Hi again, Hawks0.
I'm glad you took the time to do the requested page, although I must say that I was hoping for a much cleaner work. You did seem to get the perspective better on your boxes, but your line work still needs a lot of improvement. Remember that each line should only be drawn once. You shouldn't go over the same lines, except when specifically requested, i.e. on the ellipses or to increase the line weight.
I've still marked this lesson as complete, but I'm hoping you take my advice in the further exercises, in order to improve your line work.
Next Steps:

Thanks for the advice... I really appreciate it.

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.
