There are a lot of ‘observers who sketch’ around here. But not everyone feels comfortable with posting their sketches. As if there is (but there is NONE) an entry level of ‘quality’ to comply with. I believe that every sketch is worth looking at.
I would like to invite everyone (yes, from newbie to veteran) to post their very first sketch in this thread.
Just remember:
The sketch is a visual record of your observation. It does not need to look like a piece of art in the first place. The sketch will assist your observing notes. An image says more than thousand words.
The sketch will force you to slow down and to observe more intensely and it will improve your observing skills. With your improved vision, you will be able to use your scope and your backyard sky to its maximum performance.
With every new sketch, you’ll gain experience as an observer and as a sketcher.
The sketch remains a nice souvenir of a past observing session. Looking at the sketch will bring back many memories of that particular night.
The sketch is of great value to all who wish to observe the drawn object. The sketch is a nice representation of what an observer might expect to see with his own scope.
As proof of the fact that we all started as novice observers with little or no drawing skills, here is my first attempt. We go back in time: august of 2001. And yes, these sketches still bring back memories of those times. (Boy, do I sound old)
So please, don't be shy, and share your first sketch.
