Pear with Pen Assignment

I've had a very hard time using the pen tool, but I think practicing with the pear has made me understand how to use it better. Even though my gnarled looking pear doesn't reflect this very well, I am proud of how it came out anyway. The leaves definitely look like leaves, even if the pear looks like the most unattractive, inedible pear ever. I chose for it to be brown because I prefer brown pears over green; they're sweeter. I learned more about how to use the anchor points in the pen tool, and how to control the curves a lot better.
