Usually I hold my pencil in the same way as I hold a pen. Between thumb and index finger and resting on my middle finger. That’s the way I’m used to. It’s also a nice way to sketch a picture when you’re not sure what you’re going to draw.
This time I tried something else. With the palm of my hand down I used all my fingers to hold the pencil and my index finger to push the point against the paper. That way you get much thicker lines. Much more color.

In the last picture I used two greens and one brown. In this one I used 9 greens and two browns. Which gives the picture a much nicer spectrum of colors. But I still don’t like the shape. Trees aren’t round.
Instead of using a tortillon to blend the color of the sky and of the ground I used a piece of kitchen paper. The paper picks up a part of the color and then spreads it over the paper. A bit like painting.
