Using a full set of drawing pencils, create a landscape drawing of your yard or neighborhood with a full range of values ("shades").
Fill the page. Use the entire 11 x 14" page of your sketchbook.
Try to show deep space. Include a foreground, background, and middle ground.
Use all the values (lights, middle-tones, darks) from your value scale.
Remember CRAFTSMANSHIP! Use smooth values, and only leave the white of the paper for a few highlights.
