Hard and soft edges

I did another version in a slightly smaller format, quarter sheet. I managed to keep some edges soft. The overall effect is still too blocky and stiff for my liking, but it's going in the right direction! I do need those rocks at the front to stay sharp and in strong contrast with the scene down the valley and towards the sea. So I'm not sure what I need to do. Maybe leave it alone! 

And a few doodles when I got frustrated with it! I need to do more of this type of play, trying out different tools like markers and watercolour pencils, sketching everyday objects, doing little people silhouettes, throwing it all on the page! Even a bit of collage!
