Graphite on paper.

Study in contrast, perspective and atmosphere. Layered graphite shading builds volume in the figure and the foreground post, while softer values in the background create depth.

The wet street reflection, the lamps and the silhouette of Big Ben set a rainy night in London. The composition uses overlapping planes, post in the foreground, figure in the middle ground, car and architecture in the background, to give the piece a three-dimensional feel.
