Thanks! The sign was quite visibly bent in the reference photo. It hasn't really come over in the drawing -- it just looks like I can't draw a triangle properly.

This is breathtaking.

Thank you! I've had a lot of bad pictures lately so I wanted a quick win. Very pleased with how it came out!

I would like to know more.

I think it's unlikely the former US President was posing nude at my life drawing class. But if it was him, then I'm glad I caught something of his impish charm!

The First Amendment.

Although, at a high enough zoom, Earth could also be a crescent.

Planets closer to the sun than you can be in a range of places relative to you and the sun, and so you can see parts of it that are illuminated and parts that are in shadow. Venus and Mercury can both be seen as crescents when viewed from the Earth

When you're looking at a planet further out than you are, you only see the part of the planet that's facing the sun because that's the same part that facing you. So from Earth, the planet Mars looks like a disc.

Thank you!

Hi! What a lovely thing to be told. Yes, it's original, drawn last night. Based on a photo I took in Denmark. No website just yet, and nothing like commissions on the horizon -- but maybe some day!

Hi there! And just to make matters more confusing, a previous misunderstanding about how Lemmy works means I post here too: https://feddit.uk/u/case_when

This is great! What sort of stone is it?

Haha, thanks! It turns out my meditation routine is just drawing hundreds and hundreds of slightly wonky parallel lines all evening.
