Thanks for the amazing critique! Should I send in the additional 30 boxes in this comment section after I'm done?

This is a very good improvement! I can see that your mark making is steadily looking more confident and your boxes are doing a better job of converging towards their shared vanishing points.
Remember that you should be employing the ghosting method for every mark you make, including extra line weight. I would also recommend you reread this section from lesson 1 about arcing.
I am going to mark this lesson as complete and you can now move onto lesson 2!
Next Steps:
Continue to lesson 2!

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.
