Water spills down the stepped wall of the Tie Hack Reservoir. The steps are large, but you feel like you could get quite the experience trying to climb against the flow of water. I have increased the contrast to showcase the idea of graphite on textured paper, which seems appropriate for the scene. There is plenty of variety on each step. The curves and splashes of the water are all subtly different.
