Proposal Version 2.0

I have shifted a lot from my original proposition as far as subject matter goes, but I have stayed with the same materials. I'm going to create a large detailed colored pencil piece, but I'm doing it of a strawberry submerged in water as opposed to an old picture of my dad bull riding. So far it is probably the biggest and most complicated thing I have ever attempted, and I am not exactly known for working fast, so I'm becoming slightly worried about a time crunch. I know the simple answer (that believe me I've heard a lot) would be simply to 'work faster' but I sincerely cannot work any faster and still achieve the results I would like. So I'm working on a backup plan if it starts to look like my project will take more time than I have remaining, so that I can still finish, but hopefully not surrender any quality. There will most likely only be a 5% chance I would have to use said back up plan, but I want to have one just in case. One option I have come up with is perhaps getting an extremely small micron pen and going over the detailed sketch I have now, and simply making it a black and white contour sort of image, but I'm not sure. So any suggestions or comments would be appreciated :)
