process post one- oil painting

This process started very slow but there was still some pressure to get the charcoal and grisaille passes extremely accurate so that the finished product would be realistic. I think the difficulty I experienced and am still experiencing is that no two bananas are and will ever be the same so I have to cycle between looking at the reference for the shape of the banana and thee real reference for the values of the banana, I have no clue if this will be bad, but I can only hope.
