Absolutely Awesome Frank! 
Amazing depth to the craters and wonderful accuracy! Gorgeous tonal balance, from deep black along the terminator to the bright crater rims. Stunning work sir!

RichRich,
It was not until I made this sketch that I felt some good control with graphite pencils. It was a cold night but I was getting acclimated to winter by the first week of January.
Thank you,Rich.
