Here are my boots and snail attempts. The boots were super difficult for me (especially when I attempted to simplify the laces), but I had a lot of fun.

Thanks for the demo! I feel more confident with shading and values. I'm still unhappy with the proportions of the pear and I feel like it is too tall.

I'm using toned paper, so I tried playing around with a white color pencil for the highlights. This was fun, I'll definitely practice this same project with different fruits. Thanks!
I tried using a warm tone paper for the first time for this project, and I used basically the same value scale as you, but when I did the pear I found that the highlights with a white pencil stood out too much and looked wrong somehow.
I got some advice to try lightly using the white pencil (instead of a graphite) as the light halftone so that the pure white highlight doesn't look out of place, and that helped me a bunch, I liked it way better. I think you did a great job here but it might be worth a shot if you feel like trying something different!
