New Competition - 85 LANDSCAPE

Hello my fellow steemians! I hope you are having a great weekend. Happy new weekend to you. My dear members of @worldofxpilar I am here to share my most recent realistic graphite and charcoal pencil landscape of my recent personal collection I did for myself. This job took me days because I actually want it to be one of my best for this year. I celebrate myself for spending such a tremendous amount of time to come up with this excellent masterpiece.

Here are the steps on how I did the landscape drawing.

I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my drawings from left to right to avoid smudging the part I had already worked on
It was such a tedious task because of the little details. After I was done with the skeleton or sketch I now moved on to shading the clouds. I gave it the right shape. At the starting my work didn't look attractive however I still had to continue regardless. I worked from background to foreground, so when I was done with the clouds in the sky I went ahead and moved to the far away mountains. Gradually coming up I continued till I added the trees, then the 🏠 house, then the river or lake in front of the house. The work was really sophisticated but I had to follow it bit by bit. Though I tried following the reference but I added some birds flying afar on the sky. This is going to be one of the greatest personal collection for the year.
Here are the progress shots. I hope I did well? This is what I was made for. My works makes me delirious. You can make suggestions. Thanks.
