Another Charcoal Still life

Drawing just for the sake of practicing, ideally focusing on value. Took much longer than I thought.
Well done. When I saw the thumbnail, my first impression was that I was seeing some bizarre, really interesting landscape scene, possibly with a river. This picture's value structure is really strong. I think it would look great if you were to take the value structure of this picture and apply it to a landscape -- maybe move some shapes around. Very nice.
Thank you for the feedback, I was hoping to focus more on value with this drawing, so that's good. It does look like a landscape from a distance.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
