Last year I posted a question on my story asking what I should draw next. I got a lot of responses, and completed almost all, but one completely stumped me... suggested to draw the galaxy. After several attempts at doing so in pen in black and white, I gave up. But last night I had a burst of inspiration. All the tiny stars are basically little dots! So here is the beginning of my version of the galaxy, in stippling style. ✍️

Greg Zitelli suggested that my next drawing be Yankee Stadium or Citi Field. I actually pass by Yankee Stadium every day on the way to work at the Bronx Museum, so here’s the start of my drawing!

I felt like I didn’t do your drawing challenge justice since I did it with no photo reference. So here’s a Pegasus re-do. Really shows demonstrates the difference between making it up and using a photo as a guide. I admire those who invent drawings truly from scratch.
