Next 12 attached below.
The exercises are becoming a bit more complex, but they basically just incorporate multiple basic aspects of the earlier exercises into new ones. Does really make me feel like it's getting easier. And I can see how this will tie into more complex drawing eventually.

My attempt at pear.
Relatively happy with ability to draw what I see. Think improvement can be made in the outlining of the shapes. Currenty too thick. Would be better to have the edge be defined by just shading/color. Especially on right side.
Improved version IMO. Taught me to not outline shapes to much in a cartoony way. Make outlines based on shapes/colors.

Exercize reflections:
Learned:
1. Going from 2H to 8B it feels easier to put down color.
2. Going from 2H to 8B pencils feel softer.
Other reflections:
1. My hand hurts. Likely drew to 'hard'. Retry with less/no pressure next.
2. Used wrist and elbow motions. Difficult to control resulting in lots of mess. Aim to reduce 'mess' next.
Further reflection:
1. Hard hurts less with less pressure.
2. Similar feeling in terms of putting down colors and softness of pencils.
Does feel like I have better understanding of pencils after this lesson. Never knew meaning of HB etc before.
