Hello artists, how are you? i’m in last day of holyday….tomorrow i start with work…..Three days ago i made my last sketch of Moon behind my home, i’m in sleep but i jump from my bad and go to backyard.

Hello Giorgio,
You have created a most beautiful sketch of crater Balmer receiving its last light.
Graphite can be a tough media to shade properly. This sketch is among your best. Bravo!
