I took Alex up on trying out Scott Mellish's method and I still have a lot to practice with it but I took one of the sketches I posted here recently, NGC3593 and reworked it there. Stars aren't perfect, but I love how easy it is to work in layers with the white on black. It looks much better in person than in the photo. I told Alex this was a WOW for me. Here is my first practice. I can't wait for the weather to improve to try it in the field, but at least I have time to practice the method. The image is captured on a digital camera and then the only add on I did was to import it to GIMP to add the the information. Let me know what you think.
I'm going to post the other two again as a comparison.

Jay,
An excellent observation of NGC 3593 in Leo. This is an interesting galaxy to review. It is also a tribute to the late Scott Mellish and he would have been proud of your observation. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Nice work Jay. This latest rendition does have a softer feel to it, more like a 'through the eyepiece' view for certain.
If you can't find a white charcoal pencil, sharpen a stick of pastel to give you a pencil sharp point. You can then use it to mark the star points.
Alex.
