Something that will help you while doing pencil studies and drawing in general is the notion of local tone. Say, however the light is coming, a banana is likely to be overall lighter than a pear next to it; capturing those differences through your shading will help your drawings a lot. You can even use different pencils, from harder (lighter) to softer (darker), to work among different ranges of local tones and different levels of detail in textures (which you might want to start defining as well: the rock to "feel" like a rock, the peach like a peach...); people normally use HB (HARD/BLACK) cause is right in the middle, but personally I prefer a good 3H (or even 6H) to work some stuff in very fine detail.
