My goal using light was to guide the viewers eyes to the seat of the swing and it's shadow. There wasn't much of a plan when I started drawing this, I just had this one track in my mind that said "swing set" and I just worked from there. I mainly used the heaviest pencil (6B), the medium pencil (B) and the lightest (H) to get the shades I wanted. I also used the eraser to highlight points, like the ropes. I discovered while doing this project that I enjoy shading with charcol much better, it's much easier to make shade lighter when you mess up.
