If you are inspired by the moon, I know you’ll appreciate the drawings that I’m sharing below. From simple moon drawings to more advanced and detailed drawings, there’s a reference here for everyone.

Fun Moon Fact: Did you know that there is no dark side of the moon? Both sides of the moon see the same amount of sunlight. However, only one side of the moon is ever seen from Earth. Good to know, huh?

This drawing is absolutely fantastic. It looks like the artist used dotwork to complete the majority of this drawing. If you’ve never tried dotwork, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s a challenging but rewarding art experience.

10. Mountains and Trees
