Broken Cosmos


Here are a few of my telescope drawings.  The idea came from the time I took an astronomy class with a broken telescope.  As you can see at first I couldn't think of a way to show a broken telescope so I put a lame bandage on it.  Once again, after meeting with my professor, he suggested the moon and stars in the view of the telescope be broken to communicate perhaps not that the telescope was broken but the view of them was broken.  I think this is another one of those that can be looked into too much but I like it better that my first "book" sketch!  The odd telescope on the top left is a result of looking directly at my telescope and trying to make a black and white drawing of it (I know it looks a little wierd).  A few drawings later and I arrived at the one on the bottom left.  The plan is to make the lens with the broken cosmos a whole lot bigger and keep the bottom squished like you see here but to make it less flat.
