Moon marker study

One crescent moon with a few broad shallow crater marks, no face, stars or scenery. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in black and gray marker.

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

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

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