Guide Comment: I'm amazed that this is your first serious work - its very good. I particularly like the pencil texture in the timber front of the barn, and the strong dark interior. You've also done the trees really well - no steel wool squiggles! I'm not so keen on the handling of the grass in the foreground - don't get impatient with grass - if you are going to put it in, it (and the ground around and behind it) needs to be treated with the same attention as the rest of the picture. Overall, its a fine drawing.
