Hi Rhoda. A superb sketch of Saturn from you. Nice belting, ring system, and moons show up in your fine rendition. Thanks for sharing this sketch with us Rhoda and keep up the great work.

Very nice Rhoda, yes the rings do present a challenge.

Still, very nice
Thanks for sharing.

Nice sketch. Thanks for sharing. Yes, the rings are a different chapter. You can practice on sketching cups or glasses.
- Main problem is that many sketch what they know and not what they see.
So draw what you see and not what you know. You know the rings are round and are tempted to make those ends round too. If you look closely you will see that they are much more pointed. Just like the cup.
-Try to sketch the ring first and then the sphere. Makes it a lot easier.
- Nobody said you are not allowed to use a mould. You can make one yourself for the rings.

I have always found it a challenge sketching planets. Very nice work Rhoda.
