Those boots were TOUGH. My brain just didn't want to put the laces in the right places.

Pear 1 was done before the demo. Pear 2 was done after demo and while watching the critique video. Trying to shade in shapes evenly with only the pencil tip is a real struggle for me, so this exercise helped a lot with helping me figure that out a little more. The second drawing was done on a slightly toned paper, so i used a white pencil for the highlight. I feel like a cheated a bit doing that, since I didn't have to shade the light halftone at all.
