Thank you -
I want to reiterate that sketching art is not really lost; it is just that the digital photography world has oversaturated the internet (ie; cell cameras are everywhere now) which renders hand drawn art as a unique artform again.) Anyone can take the time to try it and practice a little. It only costs your time say, away from a rerun TV show on any clear evening! Perhaps a little initiative and passion of desire to do it. 
To those who voted for my sketch, thank you very much; the moderator Charlie, allowed me some extra time to squeeze this entry in just past the date deadline, although I did the entire sketch in about 15 minutes (the terminator line was very roughly rendered in only a 5 minute period with a 14" lunar disc at a remote location due to clouds approaching fast on Halloween evening. I never finished the dark side until later from scratched in reference lines and the earthshine was not completed until another few minutes from quick memory after the moon was obscured by clouds. I had already photographed the nearly finished pastel image that night within minutes of the deadline; so I feel that for those who liked it and voted, to keep in mind that it was my least favorite work of any that I have rendered of celestial attempts at pastel sketching for the past two years, possibly due to time constraints, it turned out somewhat animated and not as surrealistic as I had planned.
So here is the actual final image that I missed getting entered, to photograph until daylight the next morning. - Mark >
