The next time you visit the Blinking Planetary Nebula (NGC 6826) in Cygnus, checkout the bright, pretty, yellow double star less than a degree to the west. With a wide separation of 40 arcseconds, 16 Cygni will split at low power in even the smallest of telescopes.
The 16 Cygni star system also contains a red dwarf star and at least one extrasolar planet (2.38x Jupiter in size). Neither are within reach of my telescope.
The other apparent dimmer double star below and to the right of 16 Cygni is a chance alignment and they are not gravitationally bound to one another.

This is one of my sons inside one of the dolmens near Antequera.
It is amazing how thousands years ago these huge stones could be moved and located in place.

As i watched her beatiful mouth open, i became even more sure she wasnt the same woman i married. her other mouth started to slowly approach my face. She grapped my face and i can feel the tension. i close my eyes and wait for the kiss. And in a blink of an eye, her tounge pierces through my forehead. Im not sad about my fate, at least i was killed by a woman i love........or i used to love.
Trying out my new watercolour pencils, and I am very pleased with them. This guy in the Dunelm coffee shop hardly moved a muscle but his glasses slipped further down his face every minute (I drew them early on so they stayed in the original position)
This cute chow-chow guy is my mom's dog. Making a quick sketch in my moleskin notepad while he's trying to sleep...

Cue little girl savitha who won the first prize in drawing competition in lady sivasami school, mylapore.
I tended to like drawing fighter aircraft, because the big ships were always a challenge to me. I think it's because I could understand what everything on a fighter did, having spent hours trying to figure out duct routing for the jets and so on. This is one I drew probably in the 11th or 12th grade, after I had finally broken free of graph paper and straight edges. I'm showing an improved grasp of shading and form, though it's still very planar.
In terms of influences, it's hard to say...probably a bit of Macross and long-standing conventions I'd developed. The raked-back antenna behind the cockpit, the shape of the tail, and the wing placement are pretty standard.
Oh, I just remembered that this was one of the first ships I purposely had "leaning forward" a bit because it looked more aggressive! I would have to adjust the angle of attack of the main wing though to make this work for real.
I turned this drawing into a Christmas present made for a 10-year-old girl who loves sailing and the colour orange. This is her drawing. Here is the finished pillow.
