colour sketches of jupiter

[BRADLEY 1953]

With the huge dust storm on Mars, I have turned to Jupiter to indulge my passion for colour sketches. I submit a few recent examples, but make no claims for scientific accuracy. Hopefully there may still be time for Mars before it fades into obscurity!   Best wishes   Chris.

Those are something else! How many books filled with sketches do you have ?!

Lovely sketches.

Outstanding sketches Chris. It's not an easy task creating an accurate colour rendition of Jupiter, but the colours in you're sketches are perfect.

Superb!

Very accurate colours Chris ?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, Stu, I have certainly been called a lot worse !   Chris.

Fantastic sketches Chris. They look like watercolours! Interesting that you only needed x99 on the last one, just goes to show you don't need to go that high to get the detail.?

Excellent work Chris.  As many have said, your colours are wonderful. Particularly the way you have caught what I call the 'rustyness' of the NEB and also the SEB to a lesser extent.  Well done indeed Chris ?

Fantastic drawings!  I love the shadow transit.

[Beocat]

Those are some good sketches.  About how long did they take you to draw? 

[BRADLEY 1953]

Thanks Beocat,  not too long actually, possible about one hour, once you have got the main features in the right place it is fairly easy.  Chris.

Easy Chris !?    ?

Me thinks you are far too modest.

Beautiful work! are they pencil or watercolour? You've really captured the soft blending of the cloud belts. well done

Hi  there,  thanks for your comments, they were done with a set of ancient water soluble pencils, circa 1970's. The original sketches were much smaller in size than the images posted, and in my opinion looked rather better, but unfortunately due to my incompetence with computers and web sites, I was unable to reduce them to the appropriate size.   Chris.
