scenic composition

This is a graphite pencil drawing the artist has attempted to draw a scenic composition. He has tried to add depth, line and value to increase the quality of the drawing. The artist has successfully added depth to his drawings due to the shadow and the bottom of the page that goes down the hills. Because the shadow looks like it is lying over multiple hills and humps it makes the trees and buildings in the background seem further away. There is a strong sense of implied lines in this drawing, the shadows at the bottom of the page leads the eye over it quite jaggedly, up and down the bumps on the ground, then along the strong line that leads to the building. The value in this image is excellent, the artist has managed to create areas of darkness and light around the entire drawings, darkness over the hills and underneath the trees, and the building and surrounding areas are surrounded by light, this is represented because there is virtually no shading on the building. It is a shame that the drawing has got some other material that has rubbed off onto the drawing.
