| Guide Comment: This is an excellent beginner drawing - I particularly like the way the rocks are drawn. You've also used the eraser (for the sun's rays and some cloud and water areas) as a drawing tool - not just for erasing mistakes. I like the way the white of the paper has been used too - you are clearly starting to think about areas of value. You need to think this way with the buildings too, and avoid the temptation to outline, which makes them look a bit flat. Sometimes, if there isn't much detail in the photo, you need to use 'artistic license' to improve the shading. It looks like you've used a hard pencil - try using a softer pencil - 4B - for very dark shaded areas.
