Asked for help
I don't know if maybe I needed to spend more time sketching; I did these in around 2-3 minutes each, but I can see some errors in the size of the legs of the VR girl (in comparison with the upper body), the head/face of the penguin and the exaggerated curviness of the fingers of the hand (i like the hand tough haha). Feedback/advice is appreciated.

I think for 2-3 minutes of drawing, these are already very good sketches. But why stop at minute 3 if you still want to adjust something?

I had a hard time with the boots. I try to get the proportions right and to make my lines clean, while thinking that I must use only CSI, but it was hard. I even was avoiding the hard parts, but I did it. Feedback it appreciated!

A tangerine. Some discrepancies in lights and shadow 'cause I took the photo with my phone but drew it just by looking at the fruit. Enjoyble, but couldn't make it look like a tangerine if it weren't for the stem (if it looks like...). Feedback is appreciated. Sorry for my english and the low quality photos.

Hey there! Nice rendering, it looks very smooth and consistent, and good simplification of shapes. It's great that you're labelling the different types of tones as well :)
I would like to mention that when approaching shading, it's helpful to first think about the two overarching groups: shadow and light. If you squint at or blur the photo, you'll notice that the shadow area is a distinct shape from the light with a clear line of division. So anything on the side of shadow is darker than anything in the area of light, including the halftones. While the current dark halftone area closest to the ground is lighter than the rest of the shadow, it would be darker than the current version to still be part of the shadow group. One way to change this would be to shade it as the current tone of the "light shadow" and combine the rest of the shadow into the "dark shadow" tone, so you can still see that change of value on the tangerine. Or you could instead combine the dark halftone into the group of light shadow instead, to separate the tangerine and the ground shadows--it's up to you and your first-hand observation.
Hope this helps! :)
