Lunar crater marker study

One isolated bowl-shaped lunar crater in oblique view, an oval raised rim and recessed floor, no landscape beyond a small local ground patch. Practice form, overlap and selective shading in black and gray marker.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Set the outer crater ellipse and smaller floor ellipse.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the rim slopes to the recessed floor.

3. Develop the drawing

   Use selective interior marks and local shadow groups to explain the overlaps. Keep the lighter planes open rather than shading every surface.

A small thing to tryMake the far inner wall visible above the crater floor.
