Pencil Moon
Sketch by Richard Neville and Details by Deirdre Kelleghan
Moon sketch in Pencil by Richard Neville age 10
Richard is a pupil of Saint Andrews Junior College in Dublin.
Richard was inspired to try a sketch of the moon.
His sketch shows great energy and intent to capture detail
both on the lunar surface and along the terminator.
Well done Richard its a great effort !!!

Richard and Deirdre,
I love your drawing! I like and envy your liberty of expression. Very artistic! It conveys the joy I feel everytime I see the Moon. With your permission, I’ll print it and post it on my fridge : that way, when I am making a hot chocolate in the middle of an observing session, I’ll be reminded that we have to look at old things with fresh eyes…

Richard,
Great sketch. The moon looks all dressed up and ready to cross the sky.

Richard,
That is such a beautiful sketch. Well done!
I hope that you will make more drawings of the moon and the stars. 🙂
