This is such a tough exercise. Will definitely keep doing this.

Nice job, this looks great! The background is pretty close in value to your pear. You could darken the background value slightly to help separate the pear from the background and help it jump out a bit more. Keep up the good work!

Here are three eyes I drew for the assignment. The one in the center was the last one I did, this time with pencil from a reference image. The other two were done with charcoal. I have been trying to draw with charcoal since that is what Stan uses, but I am much more comfortable with pencil (Lead holders). I have been having a real problem with sharpening the charcoal the way he recommends. I think the post office jumped up and down on the box of charcoal I ordered from Amazon. Every time I try and sharpen them, the charcoal breaks.
These are all nice but I do believe comfort with the medium makes you more comfortable with your lines. Before reading your message, I thought the middle one best. It may be all mental for you though. I’d say try again, but if you don’t like it return to the lead holder(I also use one). You obviously have the skill.

Here are some drawings of some eyes I did. One thing I had trouble with the most were the eyelashes as I couldn't made them blurry and one reference I had contained individual lashes. I also had trouble shading the eye as it was difficult to distingush tones since my references were in color. If you have any advice/resources/tips/etc. that could help me in this or other situations, please share them with me.
Really focus on your shapes. They don’t match the reverence well. And clump your eye lashes together. That will be more aesthetically pleasing.
great practice. What jumps out at me: the eyes are much too close to the brows and the shape of the hairline isn’t right.

Trying out some heads. These were from imagination and I really struggled with some angles.
Touch your neck. You can feel it starting from under your chin at the front and on the back it starts way up higher, where?
Go feel for it, it actually sits on the occipital prominence, much higher to where you have drawn it.
Don't worry, the flaw lies in the construction model itself, the sphere flattens these useful angles and makes it impossible to find the right origins for the main neck muscles
Remember, the head should be flowing into the neck and the rest of the body. It's not just a balloon floating around!
