New Sketches       #3385222 - 10/12/09 12:06 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hey guys and gals... I got some decent weather finally and some good sketches I thought I would share. Well... I think their pretty good Please keep in mind... I have never been very good with the Galaxy/Nebula sketches... still working on that. Better at planets and clusters. Below are my sketches (and notes) of Jupiter and Andromeda with M110 to the bottom left. -------------------- "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Re: New Sketches [Re: frank5817]       #3385723 - 10/12/09 05:11 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks.. I use the reverse color (black on white vs. white on black) in case I ever want to print one; this way I save on ink. The notes help a lot and I can see slight differences when doing so. One time I actually sketched Mars... and had a bit of a blur in an area... I was disapointed and didn't know what it was, but to my surprise, I saw online the next day or so that there was a report of a sandstorm on Mars that night... Awesome! -------------------- "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
