I knows it's bad but I tried

I really enjoyed doing the pear actually but I wasn’t a big fan of the portrait. I think one thing I learned was that realism isn’t my thing and I can’t see myself doing this kind of art for fun. That said, I could see how practicing exercises that strengthen control of value relationships is important. It would be great to have an intuitive grasp of these things, however I just have trouble seeing myself invest hours into getting the values right.

Here’s my pear. Honestly, the hardest part of this project is psychological. “What am I doing?” “You’re never going to be good at drawing.” “This is ridiculous, you’re not artistic.” These are the kinds of thoughts I had while working on the project. I’m going to do my best and keep trying. Even if I don’t get good at drawing, I owe it to myself to not listen to those kinds of thoughts and keep trying.
