  • Occasionally, you may come across an illustration of a crescent moon with circular shading. That's WRONG! Watch to see how to properly draw one (with backup "evidence").

    What's worse is crescent moons with stars in the dark area of the moon

    thats why its a drawing and not a photograph.
    i draw and i know what the moon looks like irl, but i love drawing it mor like the shape on the turkish flag. there is something about the pointy edges pointing inwards, that i find really pleasing to look at.

      +Frame of Essence because the shadow of the earth on the moon is actually bigger then the moon, The artist rendering you show in your video would be even further from what the moon should actually look like (there is no such thing as an annular lunar eclips

    It's scientifically wrong, but artistically forgivable. We often take some liberty when we can. XD

    Thank you! As soon as you said ellipse I thought "of course!" but up until then I'd been wondering about circular arcs of different radii (in my defense I had only been cogitating on it for a short while). Now I can make my phases of the moon knitting chart (just need to (re)find the site that will generate pixellated "circles" and "ellipses" 😊

    @CShep99 6 років тому +6

    I agree that gibbous moons need more love, but it IS harder to pull off in a drawing. Unlike crescents, gibbous shapes aren't immediately recognized as the shape of the moon. You have to put more detail in a gibbous moon drawing to prevent it looking like a failed attempt at drawing a full moon.

    Thank you so much. I was searching "how to paint the moon", too realistic. The "how to paint Cresent moon" and they were no where near realistic! I wanted scientific accuracy with out every crater to paint! What irks me more than not being about to get my shadows right is when people put STARS in the space that's really just the shadow cast on the moon. Ugh! 😠 That's not how already gorgeous celestial bodies works! Lol ok rant over. 😇

    O.o That perfectionism! ... I think that in the 'contemporary art, should only follow a certain freedom of expression. The rules prevent creativity ...
    It 's my opinion of course!

      Creativity cant be an excuse to cover the ignorance about the rules. Learn the basics first. Then - and ONLY then! - you can appeal to freedom of expression.

      I am coming for y--... Just kidding. I am a Muslim. And we even have the Crescent moon in our flag (The Turkish Flag)(!). But, you know? Well, we knew it is not the right shape. But, the problem is, we dont want to change it, because, this crescent moon thing comes from 1000+ years ago! (Or 1500+). And it is still in our flag :P.

    • @5up3rp3rs0n
      @5up3rp3rs0n 6 років тому

      Though technically in a human eye's perspective, lights from stars ARE defracted into a pointy shape, so the 5 pointed star isn't too far off.
