What crater is more of an easier crater to sketch? I have already done the Pythagoras crater. What should my second crater to sketch be?

It was quite an easy crater to sketch and turned out great with charcoal.

Just a suggestion, try to sketch the straight wall zone, to improve the contrast, the Moon age must be around 10 days. Have fun !

The degree of available detail is intimidating. Keep it up!
