Exercise (1) Cloud Formations and Tone. Project (2) Landscape.

6B graphite stick.
I covered the page in a in graphite to get a mid-tones then worked back into it with a rubber and more graphite. 
I am a bit disappointed with the result, usually I find it is a good technique for getting form, but this drawing appears quite flat, maybe I just didn't spend enough time on it.

Whiteboard marker with blue watercolour wash.


Felt tip pen.
This (and the one above) were of clouds moving very fast across the sky, so I didn't have much time, but lots of fun.

A few different tones of Conté on a blue support.

Conté, pastels and a touch of white acrylic paint on blue paper. 

Much prefer these attempts, to the  previous ones, they still don't seem to capture the volume of the clouds (to the extent I was after), but its an improvement on the drawings before. 
I really liked using the Conté and pastels on the blue,  
I was pleased with the way the fine, feathery bits, that seem to come off the bigger, more solid looking clouds, came out.
