It looks like you have a firm understanding of Lesson 2! Your forms and textures all look great, and I have no corrections for any of them, except for your ellipses in the "Organic Forms with Contour Lines" exercise which came out deformed. Try to keep this in mind and make smoother, more confident ellipses as you move forward.
I definitely feel that you are ready to move on. Great work!

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.
