im a little late but as I've already drawn it I thought I might share it here anyway. I completly didn't know what is going on around lips

I'm late to the party but here are my pears. Attempts from before watching the demo and after. Struggled with deciding where to put darker shadows especially with the pear 2 after demo. Will try the portrait next.

If anyone is interested in a study group, I can start a discord server were we can follow along with the course as the lessons come out. Comment below and I can shoot you an invite. *Edit* Sorry, not as discord savvy as I thought I was. I'll need you to friend request me, and then I can send you the invite link (has to be friends only). My code: Other Barry#8117

My pear from reference photo Proko posted somewhere down in the comments. Wonder how it's going to look after the actual lesson lol
