Moon fine ink study

One crescent moon with a few broad shallow crater marks, no face, stars or scenery. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Draw the outer moon curve and inner crescent edge.

2. Connect the structure

   Place a few broad crater ovals along the visible surface.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the two crescent tips joined to the outer curve.
