Adam Firth Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 This sketch probably took me longer than most just because of the amount of detail in m42. I could see the trapezium easily and i played around with the mag just to get the most detail that i could +Glafnazur, +Streetbob and +Derbyshire Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm intrigued by your excellent 'positive' sketches. When I occasionally sketched they were always 'negative' using pencils from 6H to 6B on white paper, so is there something equivalent in white for sketching on black paper?

I'm sure there is as I've heard it mentioned on 'the actual astronomy podcast' before where one of the hosts discussed sketching but I actually do it with a normal pencil on white paper like you. Then I take a picture and reverse the colours using snapseed. Clive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Streetbob Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You can get white pastel pencils that are soft ( caran d’ache) and white harder pencils, though not such a range. I have made some moon drawings from photos before but not been brave enough to share them. I’d like to try at the eyepiece sometime.
