Spiral galaxy fine ink study

One isolated tilted spiral galaxy with a bright oval core and broad curving spiral arms. Practice form, overlap and selective shading in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place the tilted central oval.

2. Connect the structure

   Sweep broad spiral arms outward from the core, following the same tilted plane.

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 tryKeep the arms on one shared tilted plane.
