Charcoal Garden - Shrubs and a Dramatic Sky

I say dramatic sky because I started off quite understated and then went over the bushes again and everything else looked too pale... Maybe if I'd left it at that stage it wouldn't have looked as silly as it does now! Still, my grass technique makes a return and the bushes work pretty well too - if I'd filled in the space where the bushes were to go and then gone over it with the same approach as I've used in the finished product here, I don't think it'd have worked as well. Sure, they look a little disconnected, but they're interesting (and you can tell what they are!).
