they look like those glass fruit showpieces, very nice! Love the visible pencil strokes, gives it alot of texture kinda like a resin paperweight

The title reminds me of that one masterchef clip where the contender makes a "pear of desserts"

You're making good! If you add some shadows it'll be great!

thank you for the encouragement! you're right, I got scared of adding them because the reference is pretty confusing, but I have to at least try

No worry, its still beautiful, but don't forget adding shadows, shading details lots of details, if you scare from adding details you might not develop yourself, still its good, but you know, the humanity is developing every minutes, days, hours :))
