Using the template to make the pears was very useful to learn the Pen tool. It took a little bit of work to try and get the curves correct and get the lines to go in the right direction. After a bit of practice though, I was able to use the Pen tool no problem. I was able to make multiple pears and used the color gradients. I also created a basket and a rug to have on the ground.
