These are good. Well I'm a beginner too so I'm only saying this according to my perpective, I do know for sure blue that you are better than me when it comes to charcoal. If I remember to I'll submit one of my school works. Question! what kind of process did you go though for that barn ( I think it is a barn) drawing? If you did do a process that is (like sketching first or templating shapes into the sketch).
The barn was done all by pencil, an it is a unfinished barn ^^, but all I did first was choose a side then scaled it to how big I wanted the rest of the barn to be, it was a two point perspective drawing. ((I think it was anyways... It been some time ago. )) Like I was saying I scaled one side, then followed that scale. I lightly drew in the outlines with hard pencils then came around an started to draw in the details with softer pencil an eraser.
