Copy I did trying to understand better the process from the demo before I did the next two pears.

From left to right: first, second and third try. After the first one I watched the demo from Proko to try to see what I could improve in the next pears. I'm having a lot of difficulty trying to increase the contrast and controlling the pencils is indeed hard holding with the tripod method for shading, I'm using 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B.
In the third one I TRIED to do 3 values for shadow and 2 for light, trying to use the darker value to the "floor" to see how it would translate, but yeah, I don't know if it ended up better or worse. lol
Feedback is always appreciated! Going to try the portrait now.

It can take some time getting used to a new grip, but your results are already showing consistency and control, so keep going :) I do want to mention to watch out for the difference in value between the steps, as some halftones can get too close to each other rather than maintaining an even distance in value. For example in the third pear, the jump between the 2nd and 3rd darkest values could benefit from distribution across values 2, 3, and even a bit of 4.
As for trying with 3 shadow values and 2 light, I think it's a great method of practice to gain new insight and perspective. If you want to try it again, a way to approach it would be to use two values for the shadow side on the pear (one for the lighter shadow area and one for the core shadow) plus the 3rd shadow value for the floor. This way, all three shadow values would be on the same side of the terminator (the line that divides shadow and light groups).
Hope this helps! Great work overall, you got this :)
