Easy Pretty Sketches of Sun and Moon

I create a lot of drawings with moons in them so I decided to make a blog post dedicated to moon drawing ideas.

Moons are such a simple thing to draw, yet it adds a an element of dreaminess and aesthetic beauty to your art.

I hope this inspires you to add more moons to your doodles as well!

Drawing Tip: I recommend creating a pencil sketch of your drawing first. Then, if you like, you can go over that sketch with an ink pen. Then erase the sketch underneath once the ink dries.

Also, if it helps – use a round object to help you trace a circle (washi tape roll or a base of a cup).

Frankly, I think it's okay if the moon shape isn't perfect because it gives a more hand-drawn feeling 🙂 Hope this helps!

And above all, enjoy doodling!

1. Crescent Moon

I created the drawing below using a pencil. Create craters by creating darker round shadows in your circle.
