Actually tried this one twice.?
This one was tough! I’m happy with my clouds 🙂
Thank you for your comment. The atmosphere is very good in your piece…. that time of night to sit back and just… appreciate life.
I used Strathmore charcoal paper for mine. Sadly I got tired and finished too quickly.
Here is my rendition of Grand Canyon. This session brought back memories from visiting CO and Utah. Very enjoyable!

I love your work!
Thank you, Scott for another great episode! Please add some full human figure drawing to the schedule. Thanks and see you next week.
Great Scott! Another wonderful episode. I am getting a better understanding on the ways to provide depth in draughting…. thank you for that. I used the Same graphite materials as prior episodes. And thank you for this midweek pause to forget the craziness we are living through. Really helpful to my well-being. Keep on trucking and we will see you next week. Ps my chatting was not going through for an unknown reason.
