Very beautiful sketch, thank you for sharing also the sequence next to the scope. Looks like it is quite a show in the Sun today!

Gus,
Thoroughly enjoying your beautiful sketches. They're a real pleasure to see.
Can you give more information about the crayon (if it's a crayon!) and the paper/card you use?
Thanks,
Nic

Thank you all for the comments and likes. Great to get some encouraging feedback from fellow solar observers and imagers. I'm not sure if there are other sketchers here, but would love to see the work of others. Nic, below is an image of the paper I use, and I use coloured pencils as well, a few different shades of reds and oranges.
