No, i drew from real life. I placed the banana and apple in front of my screen and the banana had little shading at all.

Less saturation, more contrast.
aka, less wicked bright yellow unless your room was wicked bright, and more colors like purple being mixed in for contrast.

In the banana, I agree that less saturation would help, but more contrast isn't necessarily needed. The banana cools down to green in the shadow, which is to be expected with a blue ambient atmosphere, but if the surface it's resting on is warm, this will have an effect.

I do have to commend you for trying to objectively portray the fruit. Although you might otherwise find yourself coerced into painting what you think you know is there, painting what you think you see will go towards your autonomy in making the right color selections.

Technique-wise, the apples are too convoluted, and although you might be portraying the texture with your brushwork, applying the texture as a superficial detail might have been more appropriate. Also, the white highlight looks to cool as it gets diffused.

Good on you, and let's see more.

I understand what your saying, I tried my best to get the colors accurate. I have a difficulty with colors and it is very hard for me to ever get close to the right one.
