Final Landscape Drawing

This is a 50 minute landscape drawing of the Rochdale canal in Todmorden. I tried to focus on creating an interesting composition by using the rule of thirds, as well as ensuring the composition had a foreground, a middle ground and a background. This piece demonstrates a good sense of depth as the canal disappears into distance and it is clear to see that buildings in the background at at some distance.

Athough the canal seems to be shaded quite well, on the whole I feel this drawing has been let down by the shading,this could be due to the lack of tonal variation.The drawing shows a good sense of perspective but this is somewhat let down by the wall which runs from the right of the drawing,then under the house.
