2/3s Try Their Hands at Charcoal

The leaves have fallen off the trees exposing all the lovely lines of the bare branches. This seemed like a perfect time to try to capture the feeling of the colder weather by drawing a moon behind the branches without their leaves in black, gray and white. The charcoal was applied with a light and heavier touch and smudged with a kleenex to get varied grays. Erasers were used to bring back some of the lighter tones that might have gotten a bit overworked.
