Graphite drawings

Just for a change of pace from my usual painting, I have been doing a few graphite drawings of my favorite underwater critters. I had forgotten how much I love to draw until I started working on them.

DSFDF Pennsylvania Landscape

The Different Strokes from Different Folks challenge this time from Karin Jurick's blog was a Pennsylvania landscape.
We received the photo to do in black/white and our challenge was to invent the color.
Since I usually paint underwater scenes, this WAS a challenge for me ! The colors I deal with are much brighter.
