This is a 15 minute landscape study of the view from my front window, drawn using charcoal. My charcoal work isn't as effective as my pencil studies; I find that it is too soft, which makes it hard to maintain lighter values in the image as they get ruined by the charcoal smudging itself across the page. This makes the image flat and dull. I think the most effective part of the image is the right side where the charcoal hasn't been smudged and the detail of the tree and the surrounding bushes are more contrasty.
