Pastel and Conte on Strathmore Artagain paper.

I had been solar observing and drawing all day but Copernicus really looked so good I had to
have a go. Got a bit tired toward 11pm local time so stopped drawing.
I have a tendency to wander into surrounding areas a habit that is difficult
to break. One to capture another time, so nice to draw in the heat of an
evening more comfy than the middle of winter.

Here is a slideshow of some of my lunar sketchers - You can turn off the captions and still the images  if you like .
