Ansel Adams Landscape

This was an assignment to draw a landscape. Our Drawing 1 class was "representational drawing" only, so everything assigned had to be either taken from a photograph or drawn from life. I believe this is a rather famous photograph of Ansel's. Could not figure out clouds ;__; I did not go back and clean up my edges lol 

So I took one look at this original photograph with all of it's shading, and I said "no way". Sometime during when I was going over the outline sketch, I decided not to smudge any shading, and leave all the strokes in. I really liked how it came out, and whenever I'm drawing something now, I'm tempted to use the same style lol

18x24, graphite on paper

(these submissions are sort of a drawings dump now that the semester is over)
