(Untitled for now) 18” x 24” Colored Pencil Drawing on Strathmore Mixed Media Gray Paper done in Faber Castell Polychromos, Koh-i-Nor Woodless Colored Pencils, and Charcoal. No reference. Please comment and critique (and don’t hold back). I appreciate any time you can share.
Updated — I added some contrasts with darks (storm cloud, hay bales and the shadows) and some highlights to the sky and a little to the hay bales. The paper is “full” and would only take gouache etc at this point.
Please be blunt in your comments and critiques. You will not offend me.
Nice subject! The contrast you added is working. My crit would be in composition rather than execution. To my eye the second row of bales is a little to evenly spaced. It’s little thing and doesn’t kill the composition. Just what my eye picked up first.

The contrast you added with the storm clouds works beautifully. I agree with Elaine, maybe place the hay bales slightly differently to be a little more randomly placed, or something. That’s about it…I really love this.

Thanks for sharing with us!Thank you. I truly appreciate it. I would redo the closest bale in the front on the right, also. To me, it is too small. I see what you are saying about the 2nd row of bales. That was a complete accident! I will be more mindful of that in the future.
Also, I think the bales are too round. I would use a different approach drawing them more like how I draw pine needles. I think that would also really help with the realistic feel of the bales.I like both versions. They appear to be at different times of the day. Makes me miss the midwest
