added comment inDemo - Simplify Pear from Observation
Good lesson, I thank you for the information and the demo. I have learned new things I want to incorporate and use to improve my art. Here is my pear before and after watching the demo.

It looks amazing but I feel like some of the texture was mistaken for shadow

Asked for help
Do you need to understand anatomy to do the box man exercise?
As you improve in your knowledge of anatomy/figure drawing, your boxmen will also improve. However, the exercise isn't necessarily supposed to look good. It is intended to be a way to get your pencil moving, without stressing out about the result.
When I posted my assignments for this course, I tried to make what I showed publicly meet some minimum threshold for quality (which was, by the way, unnecessary), but to really do the exercises in the spirit that the instructor intends, you should have someplace, like a sketchbook or a stack of cheap copy paper, where you feel comfortable making a mess of things. You don't have to show what you draw there to anyone else. Nevertheless, drawing there will help you grow and build skill.
I hope this helps. I look forward to seeing what you make, if/when you feel comfortable posting your work.
