I just got a promotion, and I've been busy trying to figure out what I don't know about the new job, so I missed last week.
I was trying to think of someplace that was foggy all the time. Living in NC, I thought I would do a sketch of the Smoky Mtns. Just pencil on paper. Usually I use these media out of convenience, but graphite is perfect for suggesting fog. If you've never been to the Smokies, a bluish fog settles into the valleys pretty much every morning, hence the name.
I really need to break down and get a better/larger scanner. Although the combination of overexposed and underexposed areas kind of works with this subject, the actual drawing turned out a lot better than the scan.

I think it conveys the mood of foggy very well! It's quite lovely.

Congrats on the job, and great work in the illustration!
Very impressive work! I like it!!!
Great piece, love the softness of this and how the eye is lead into the distance by the fog in the valleys.
