I like pastels for their blendability and dynamic range. They are so easy to manipulate compared to colored pencils or graphite. They are a little more difficult to add the finer details, such as in crater walls or a star field. But as you've stated before, sketching larger allows for more details to be added. Excellent lunar impression, Mark! -------------------- Erika 10" LX200 Classic, ETX70-AT, DS Maxscope 60mm, 12" Truss Dob, Orion ED80, WO Binoviewers, 10x50's and 7x50's Binoculars, Rebel XT 350 Having Fun in the Sun!
