Apart from you I & Darren, I don't know anyone else that sketches in here. But there's gotta be others that do it, considering we got 400 members!?

Here's 2 I did awhile back. No doubt you've seen em' before in last months challenge section. I was in a hurry, so they were coarsely done. Might spend some time re-doing them.

Cool John!!!!

I like the fading light haze from the centre of the glob.

Where they drawn during viewing or later on from memory?

The lagoon was done roughly at the EP & then added to from memory. The glob was straight out of my head. I reckon I've seen it enough times to remember it

Seeing I was banned from the computer all day by my wife.....I mucked about with the wirlpool....No I don't see it like this in my scopes lol.....sketched from a magazine.

I tried this quick attempt of a spiral Galaxy using paint. Not very good but it was fun for a few mins.

Great work with the sketching!!
I had my two boys (7+8yrs) out today sketching sun spots. They really enjoyed it. Maybe I'll get the eldest out practicing at night as well. Never too early or late to learn.

Hahaha! You've been sniffing pencil fumes again John!

Laurie told me about a good graphics program called Dogwaffle. I downloaded it and tried it on the pic above. It is easier than Photoshop for some graphics.

I wouldn't rely on it when I go to draw exactly what I see through an EP, that belongs in the pencil & paper realm. But dogwaffle seems fun for creative arty stuff.

Asimov ... they are great sketches
Is that Omega Centuri ?
It looks like I saw it through "Astro Souths" 12.5 inch Dob !

Thanks Ian. Yes, it was originally Omega centauri, but I figure it can double as NGC 104 as well..

Darren, No standards here mate! Just draw what you see (or remember).

There is no prize for best drawing. I have seen some fairly terrible drawings printed in Magazines and books. They were printed because they were drawings of objects, not because they were works of art

It's not that hard David, you probably have way more than half the talent.

Just draw what you see and then invert it to negative in PhotShop or elsewhere.

You will be suprised at how they come out, give it a go!

David, if you do a neb, to get the nebulous effect rub the pencil sketch with your finger. Smudge it a bit, and then for objects like the ring neb just lightly draw the edges back in after smudging
