Three quick sketches

[mikeDnight]

I've been too busy getting to know my scope to settle down and draw in detail, but I have attempted three quick sketches over the last couple of observing sessions. Not overly detailed but good fun to do.

Well I wish my ‘long’ sketches were as good as your quick ones. Great work and thanks for sharing.  I enjoyed reading about the DZ as well. Look forward to hearing and seeing more.

Great work Mike. Love the long shadows cast by that crater in the Hortensius domes sketch.

Hi Mike, excellent work! Independent of bearing in mind that these were just quick sketches: Great results! 

Clear skies!

Thanks for your kind comments chaps!

The sketches were quick in the sense I didn't concentrate on the fine detail in the crater terracing or the mountainous terrain around the Alpine Vally, which was quite a terrifying prospect to get to grips with. I'm a coward by nature, and tend to steer away from anything that makes my hobby a chore! That's not to say I won't give it a go one day!! ☺

Super sketches @mikeDnight!

Your sketches capture the feel of these areas. Hortensius domes are on my list to pay a visit. The shading you used on the H. Domes gives a good 3D effect. Mike
