This is a study of Scenic composition in landscapes using graphite, the drawing took approximately 20 minutes.
Keeping the rule of thirds in mind, the drawing follows it quite accurately with each bump of the hill in its own section, all in its own horizontal line of the rule as well, although the drawing could be improved upon by adding the surrounding areas, and maybe widening the perspective to add the trees on top of the hill. It is also successful showing the bumps in the hill, using the shadows of the trees to accentuate this, there are light and dark values to show the gradients on the hill.
The focal point of this drawing would be the top right where the darkest part of the image is, then it leads your eye through the middle of the drawing following the curve of the middle hill. You could say this splits the drawing with a balance line as well, where it cuts across the drawing in a diagonal bottom left to top right.
