Moon Pencil Drawings
Moon and star drawings in pencil: a cat asleep on the moon, an owl on a crescent, a sleepy moon in a nightcap, a moon with craters, a moon in a flower wreath and a moon with feathers. There is also a spiral star, a shooting star, a window with the moon, mountains under shooting stars, the sea under the moon, a rainbow cloud and a whale among clouds.
Start with a light outline in an HB pencil: first the curves of the moon, then the faces and stars. Add shadows and the night sky with a soft pencil in short strokes.

Questions and answers
What is the easiest moon to draw in pencil?
The sleepy moon in a nightcap, the moon with craters or the rainbow cloud: they have a clear outline and almost no shading. Then try the cat or the owl on the moon.
How do I draw a moon with a face?
Draw a crescent from two curves. On the inner side, mark a small bump for the nose, a smile below it and a closed eye above as a curve with lashes. Draw the nightcap as a triangle with a pompom at the tip.
How do I draw a night sky in pencil?
Shade the background with a soft 2B pencil in even strokes going one way and leave the moon and stars white. You can lift a little graphite with an eraser to make a soft glow around the moon.
