This is indeed a very good sketch  .

For me, as a Visual observer, sketches are more interesting than images, I can compare them to what I see through the eyepiece.

I appreciate you taking Your time to share Your sketches With the rest of us.

I like your drawing very much, it's truly beautiful piece, the result is worth more then a photography for me too.

It looks old style with the hand drawn frame and the technical calligraphy that is gone now because of AutoCAD. I am sure this one will pass from one generation to another.

(:

Inspiring, I want to draw a cluster now.
