A View of the Moon

Digital : Illustrator & Photoshop

The Moon is one of the most fascinating objects in the night sky. And our dependency on the moon is quite intricate as with out the moon the ocean tides would have no boundaries for one. The full moon was our first calender to keep track of the months and when to sow and harvest. So the moon is also a very important to the development of humans. There are countless stories and legends about the moon, too many to go into here so I encourage you to Google them and learn about them. The man in the moon (or animal) is a legend that appears in every culture so it is very interesting stuff. Anyways, it is one of my favorite subjects to draw and perhaps I will one day begin that series of Men on the Moon based on the Native American Names for them. Until then I will continue to enjoy watching the moon at night and draw out my moon fantasies.
Oh by the way this months moon is the Crow Moon.
