hi momino the good old pear exercise. did you buy the basics course? one thing to always do is to upload the reference image, so the ones who critique don't have to search for pictures. as for the image, i really like both of them. you can clearly see the edges and on the second one you can really see that you can draw quite clean lines. i would say just keep going you're on a great way. the only thing is to practice laying down flat shading. keep going, your doing great!
