Taking a cue from number 09.  Working the landscape a little more.

09

A very quick drawing.  The landscape emerged without me even realizing it.

08

The lines are created by using a litho pencil.  The nice thing about the grease pencil is that it won't erase like the charcoal.  This allows me to draw and erase on top of the lines - while always maintaining the linear blueprint underneath. 

07

Phew!  It's been a busy few days!  I'll now be posting the last four days worth of drawings!

Here, I am experimenting with charcoal on paper.  You can achieve such a nice light this way.

06

This may be a combination of the more linear elements mixed with an atmospheric quality.  I may start mixing charcoal into the drawings.  I'm missing something using solely pencil.  

05

This drawing is a little different than the others.  It's less about the distant landscape and more about moving graphite around on a paper surface.

04

The landscape might be getting too controlled.  I'm going to try and loosen up in my next drawing.  I find the Italian landscape coming back into these works.
