added comment inDemo - Simplify Pear from Observation
Here is my try with the pear. :D I drew two before watching the demo and two after. I really struggled with the shadows/ lighter values within the pears, so feedback would be greatly appreciated ^^

values are great, everything is really clear which makes it nice to look at! Only thing I can say is maybe to work on angles as they compare to one another and the original photo :)
looks good! I noticed that in the shades it seems a little flat because there’s really no transition in between the darkest to medium to light shade. I made a quick sketch to show u what I mean (def not perfect) but i wanted to emphasize more angled lines and transition through value. I hope this makes sense!

Asked for help
Is this the exercise? I was doing what I thought was the exercise, to the benefit of drawing lots better than I usually manage. I was going for broader shapes and really trying to have different values. But I'm not sure if this is sharp lines? I also didn't know if I was ready to try the level 2 exercise, then surprised myself w a way better portrait than I've done before. Definitely learning. But should I try to do it with sharper lines? Also don't have a softer lead pencil yet, which I'm looking forward to having soon!
I think adding more values would help improve the visual shape of everything a lot better! The proportions are good but try making the darker portions darker (hair on the guy, left side of pear) and I think you’ll like the outcome. In terms of sharper lines, I would focus on confident strokes coming more from ur arm than wrist/fingers. It looks great keep going :)
