Hi @Kyle Mc Nichols, good on you for doing more than one pear and planning to do even more! Your shading is impressively smooth. My big suggestion would be to work on capturing the angles at the bottom of the pear. In your first image, it’s almost pointy. In your second, it is a little better, but in the photo, the “feeling” the bottom gives us is a wide, stable, mostly horizontal base. Hope that’s helpful.
