Course work: Did one additional banana in colored pencil, using only four pencils and a hatching technique instead of several solid layers. While this is somewhat faster, it is much less convincing. It might prove more productive with colors stronger than yellow.

Drew three views of a pear, one worked from light to dark, one with color applied over a tonal drawing, and one with the native color applied over shadowing done with the complementary color.
