Hey there! The shapes you used here are very nice. They follow the form well. The overall shape of the pear looks great as well. I think that the value shape that represents the form shadow on the right side feels a bit out of place based on the reference -- since we're simplifying, there could be an argument made not to include a shape for the form shadow at all since it's so minor. I think if you moved that shape over to the left it would make more sense, and help soften the transition between the light values and dark values.
Typically when something is lit from one light source like the pear in the reference image, the lightest values will be located closest to the light source.
I'm ultimately trying to learn digital art, so mine is definitely "cheating" in some respects (and surprisingly harder in others!). I'll post each of my attempts, each with a slightly different approach
