Memory from 2 years ago. I saw Steve Knight's gorgeous photo of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi and just had to create a #PastelDrawing of it. It's a simple drawing but it has so much impact #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #MoonDrawing

Today is my Dad's 80th Birthday and one of my gifts for him was this #PastelDrawing of the #Moon as it looked the day he was born - 84% #WaningGibbous. If you want to see the timelapse of me creating it, the video is now live here: https://youtu.be/aw0ijxQgZ_U #SpaceArt #AstronomyArt #AstronomyDrawing #MoonArt #MoonDrawing #LunarArt #LunarDrawing

#PastelSketches of #ReinerGamma, one of several #LunarSwirls, magnetic anomalies that look like bright highland regions but they don't cast shadows. Left is under a lower Sun angle, right fully illuminated. Sketched from my own photos. The #LunarVertex mission will investigate them later this year #PastelDrawing #AstronomySketching #MoonSketch #LunarSketch #MoonDrawing

Craters in this section of the Moon are casting shadows and there is good terrain definition in the whole area, but Reiner Gamma is a lunar swirl that is in the centre, a long, wiggly line with an oval section in the centre that is bright white and yet does not cast any shadows like all the other brightly illuminated areas.

For comparison the same region of the Moon was sketched again but under a full lighting angle so there is little definition and no shadows. The brightest albedo regions stand out, including Reiner Gamma at the centre

A year ago I first shared this #PastelDrawing based on the stunning photo of the #SunriseOverTychoCentralPeak taken by the #LunarReconnaissanceOrbiter. It's one of my all time favourite images from any space mission. It took me over 2 weeks to complete and although it's far from perfect, I absolutely love it 🥰 #SpaceArt #MoonArt #AstronomyArt #LunarArt #PastelArt #LunarDrawing #MoonDrawing #CraterTycho
