Grab a pencil and surprise yourself

I'm more a watercolor-ink person and most of my drawings finish with paint. I was intrigued about the outcome of this class, hesitant  "can i make beautiful, simple landscape from a pencil? really?" and, let me tell that... YESSSSS!!! YOU CAN!!

For project 1-5 I remember that i was sketching with a charcoal-pencil but then from project 6 to 10 i changed it to a "Derwent-sketching, dark wash 8b" and I like it, produce diffents marks

When i finished the class I was inspired to look for some photos from my own aaaaaand I like it!!!   I still struggle giving texture to a mountain, for the "plants" i remember that i can make differents lines and improves the drawing for the 'middle ground'
