In the superimposed lines exercise I can see that your lines tend to curve towards the end, you should aim to improve that, when using the ghosting method try to tell if the line is going to be straight or not, sound a little odd but definitely try it.
On page 3 your lines wobble just a little bit, but you can improve them in your warmups.
You did really well on the ellipses and the planes.
In the funnels you did a great job fitting them together but remember also to keep both sides symmetrical, although most of them are correct.
There are some things to improve on the rough perspective, some of your lines are not correctly aligned to your horizon line by some degrees, and the same goes for some perpendicular lines, I know it is complicated to focus on this while trying to aim for the vanishing point, so be more aware of every detail.
You did a good job on the rotated boxes.
Finally on the organic perspective, some of your boxes show a lot of distortion, try to keep foreshortening minimal.
You can move on.

Hello,
Great work! There is some good progress here. Would have liked a bit more focus to reduce the fraying on the end of the line work. But overall I think you are good to move on to the next section. Enjoy!!
Next Steps:
Please proceed to the next section.

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.
