The Sketching, Drawing, Painting Thread

[frazier]

Charcoal, pencil, pastels, or paints on paper, canvas, etc. Digital geeks can start their own thread!

I started sketching about a year ago, carbon pencil on paper, astronomy scenes, mostly lunar. Never did anything like that in my life. I find it very relaxing, absorbing, and demanding.

One of my better ones:

It turns out that any crater you can see, has a name.

Plato is a very attractive and large crater. Galileo used shadows and geometry to measure the height of mountains such as the one at the top (Pico, 2.4 km high).

OK, I showed you mine. Show me yours!

Here's a couple of my recent ones that were small enough to scan.

I haven't been drawing, but a year or so ago I started life modelling. That has been so good for me, struck at the core of some psych stuff that has been holding me back. And I get to meet some lovely artists.

Tons of paintings and a few drawings on my site - here are the non digital ones:
