Second attempt.

My second attempt after seeing the demo. I tried to focus on values more. I think I did a better job this time but I see I need to practice shading more.

Level1 pear1 and level2 portrait. I feel like I may need to work more on keeping the values consistent and clear, so this is a good exercise for me. I can already see I could do better on that area when looking at these. Maybe add a little more darkness to the light shadow, or in general a bolder range with them, I don't know. I also tried to keep shapes and corners sharp and clear, but I wonder if I got carried away looking at unnecessary details somewhere(?). Hopefully it was still according to the assignment. I haven't seen the demo videos yet so that might answer some questions.
