Some nice patches of faculae were visible with an extremely large patch seen on the preceding side on the first and second of May. Here is Sunspot 1203 and 1204.

I am in the same position with work. Thank you for sharing them with us all.

I love the way you shade the sun with the yellow pencil to show the faculae. I also enjoyed first detailed sketch very much.

I like the way you rendered the faculae in the full disk sketches. Lots of detail in your closeup of the AR's--nice job on the umbra/penumbra shading.
