With the 1st sketch image, done before viewing the demo, I did not exactly follow directions, I used chicken scratch curved strokes. Also, I looked at the microcosms of the picture of the pear photo, recognizing I needed to 'step back'. I felt challenged by the shading as well. I did a 2nd sketch after viewing the demo, understanding the need to find the patterns once drawn with straight lines. Comments/feedback always welcome.
