NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula / Witches Broom Pastel Sketch

This is a pastel sketch of NGC 6960 the Western Veil Nebula, also known as the Witch's Broom Nebula. This is just one part of the Veil Nebula complex.

I sketched this on 8th July 2021 from a bicolour image taken by Joe Gilker in November 2019 (see the original image here: flic.kr/p/2hEQKrK )

I sketched it using Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils on black paper. I used the technique of scraping the pencil onto the paper and blending it with a brush. I'm currently working on a tutorial video showing you exactly how I created this and it should be uploaded to my You Tube channel on Friday 9th July.
