Rai:Usman's right...hehe...its the genes...my father is a wonderful artist...:)
What I did for the water here was to just use an eraser to rub off the pencil at places and this kind of added the white highlights making the water come to life.Try using the corner of a square/rectangular eraser....gives better control.

p.s:I used the derwent water soluble sketch pencils that I talked about previously...the set comes with a water color brush and you can wet it and apply onto the pencil shaded areas...thats how I got the bank of the lake on the left to be so black/dark/

Usman: I did tag you...the "tagged by sohnii" post?and how does one get tagged...well...you just get tagged...hehe...like I answered that set of questions and then picked(tagged) a few people to answer those questions too.I think this tag is supposed to be carried on...for e.g you may want to tag your friends...Rai tagged everyone who read through his answers hehe...
