Day 2 of learning simplifying from observation. Feedback appreciated

Level 2 project simplification, before the demo of lv2. I tried to focus in blocking the shade, I had a lot difficult to not focus draw the eyes, nose, or mouth. I tried to only make this element by use the shade, but in the end draw it. Maybe that why it has proportion mistakes but I got happy with the result of my drawing.

Trying a new object with the tips from the Demo

My sketch after the Demo, I'll try other objects.

My first steps, pear observation.
