Just watched the Youtube repeat - lots of great ideas and Mary is a very fluent talker.

Many books or tutorials on sketching for astronomy concentrate on how to produce accurate 'scientific' drawings. This is understandable but it was good to see some other options. 

I've done quite a bit of non-astro drawing and painting recently but only dabbled in a couple of astro 'inspired' pics as Mary described them - 'Jupiter' is my current avatar. The talk has inspired me to do more - maybe I'll even get interested in the moon!
