Posted for comment/critique. Kept the "pear shapes" quite simple. Focused on getting five distinct tones and simple, sharp edge shapes. The portrait was definitely more interesting. I focused on the face rather than the shirt. Again, being careful to use five distinct tones and simplifying shapes--in some cases like the highlights in the hair, taking some liberties to "design" shapes somewhat. Note, that I was not able to avoid some glare on the darkest tones, so they don't show up as evenly in the photo as they actually are.
