Sadr area drawn

[todd8137]

hi all ,what with the full moon and wind rain after 3 weeks i have decided to leave this as it is and post it,you may wonder why i draw this way ,you may say its a waste a time but give it a go when you spend ages looking at one thing i do think it sharpens your skills a bit at looking ,my plan is to make a five footx5 foot mosaic out of all these i could up the eps but then it would just be full of dots

thanks

hi Isabelle its a great way to get to no the sky for one and it makes you look the little bit harder and you see stars that you most prob miss,i did try black dots on white paper,what a fail it just did not look right ,the funny thing is .i asked my mrs about a new scope mount and camera gear she laughed and came back from my local town with some art stuff but its great

I was thinking of that myself. Bunch of black dots on white paper wouldn't look right. So now I am armed with chalk-pastel and some good fine point permanent markers. Should I be looking for anything else?
