They look kinda flat: did you draw them from reference? If not, take a real apple/orange/pear, put it in your desk, draw it and see the difference.
Try to post pencil sketches as well, they are easier to crit.

ok i will in the future,would adding shadows give them a more solid feel do you think

thanks for the reply

It's not just a matter of shadows, but of understanding of tones and how they distribute on a shape according to the light sources and materials. For example in most situations red apples show a little circular highligth (but oranges and and pears generally don't, from my experience).
Try to look in the tutorials section, I can't be more helpful than this.... (and my english is poor)

Looks nice. You need to blend the highlights and colors more though. And perhaps, add more shades of colors.

Keep it up!

the best tip i can give you is to use a semi opaque brush (ie about 30 %) and keep adjusting clours. also, in photoshop, if you press alt then click, it turns the brush quickly into the eyedropper thing so you dont have to stuff around with that gaint messy and somewhat rediculour colour pallete.

have fun, and keep it up ;)

Yeah, i would say draw from life, and put in some kind of environment, the fruits look like their floating. The more you paint and practice the better you'll get.

Cheers.
