I did this a few weeks ago. It's from "Drawing and Painting With Colored Pencils" by Kristy Ann Kutch. I'm not overly thrilled with my attempt, so I haven't tried to do another yet ( if you have her book, you'll know what I mean *G*).
I just ordered some CD's from Cathy "Kate" Johnson that I'm very excited about. Watercolor Pencil Workshop, and Ink and Wash Workshop. They're actually an early Christmas present from my mom. Ain't moms great?!

I think it is very good:)
Deb I think it looks really good. I too am working on colored pencil more and trying to retrain myself with shading techniques. Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more.
It's a nice drawing. I think what is missing is some contrast between the leaves and the pear? I like your highlight though really well done.
Oh this is just beautiful! Very rich in color and fullness...and Yes what an awesome Christmas gift..as the saying goes, "Christmas in July"..thanks for y our answer with the security key thingy, I will try to search for it
Wow! Wonderful highlights and rich color! WooHoo! :)
I agree! Love the high colors and light, very nice!
Nice job, Deb. You've captured the sheen so well. I love using colour pencils - I hope you continue to explore them. x
This is great, I love the texture you achieved with the pencil.
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The colors are so fall like!!!
I like it very much. It's well drawn and rich with color. Your next effort will be even better!
It's a great first attempt! You have a great color and a strong color.
I was here yesterday but my dial-up knocked me out but I wanted to say you have those onion shapes perfectly!
Nice pencil work. I do a lot of my work in color pencil.
I found the answer Deb! Zone Alarm was the culprit!
