This is a sketch of a pair of shoes on the rocks of the fire ring. I started with the bucket but quickly became bored with it and moved on to the shoes, rocks and ground duff. Part of my intention in doing this sketch was to play with the problem of depicting busy areas where there is a confusion of shapes such as the grass/leaf area at the base of the bucket and the area inside the fire ring... without having to take on the tediousness of rendering so much detail. By the time I got to those areas I wasn't willing to spend a great deal of additional time on the sketch, so I have just experimented with sampling tiny ground areas. I wanted to run off into the woods and play!
I like the way you went detailed in some areas, and left other areas blank, or looser, or sketchier. The variety is nice, and keeps the drawing very interesting as your eye travels around.
