My apologies, Richy. It looks like you did get your feedback a month ago, but due to a few factors which were entirely my fault, the critique you received was marked as spam and removed. I have now restored it, so you should see the critique on your submission.
Basically we get a ton of spam posts here (usually random people posting as though they're students but including a link to an external website), which forced us to use a whitelist of URLs that are allowed. Any links that aren't on that list automatically get removed and flagged for review by our staff.
It appears that I made a mistake when reviewing it - I marked it as not being spam, but neglected to restore the post, so it ultimately went unnoticed until you called our attention to it. Again - sorry for the inconvenience.
If you'd like, I'd happily refund the last Patreon charge that went through to compensate for the month you were left waiting. Just let me know if that's something you'd like me to do, and I'll process it ASAP.

Yes thank you and I would like to be refunded if that's ok? It's no problem.

I've submitted the refund to Patreon - they say it should take 5 to 7 days to process (though in my experience it is usually quicker than that).
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

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.
