Week 3 - Light and shadow

This drawing took about an hour, it was done with charcoal at around 17:00. The object is some kind of a stone sculpture towards the middle of Horton park.
As the day was really cloudy, there were no obvious highlight areas or dark shadows, so most of the shadows were actually due to the tight gaps and small spaces. Still, it appears that more light was coming from in front of me so there were some shadows on my side of the object. Most of the shadows are between the branches right after they separate and also all along the branches, right before they "sink" into the ground. I decided to redo the outlines so that the object may look more solid and hard.
The drawing does not show much perspective since the object was fairly small and I was a bit further away from it.
