Recent works in progress

Recently I have been trying to get into the habit of putting in 2-3 hours of painting time in before I go to bed. Doing it every other day. I'd like for to be 8 hrs but I have a day job and I weight train every evening. So I have a full plate currently. Below is the before and after of my gradient painting. To do this gradient Ill blend as I lay down a darker value of the Coker. It's a pain and slow process but I figure people spend years on one painting whats 2 hours gonna be. Currently this the third layer. I need maybe two more to get the remaining under drawing from not showing. 

The banana painting I'm just slowly tightening my marks until it is complete
