More Planetary Illustration

Man, Mars is hard to draw. It's still so small, the only really obvious feature is the ice cap. I need to stare at it for like 10 minutes before I can see things that I'm pretty sure I'm seeing. After that Jupiter is pretty easy! Since Mars rotates at a slower pace, I figure 1 drawing a night is all that really makes sense (whereas Jupiter can be pretty different after a couple hours). So, a few Jupiter's and drawing of big red.

I'll try to get out there every night that seems to have observing potential. Mars is coming up from behind a house across the street, so Mars drawing makes it a later than usual night. But we'll keep plugging away...
