Alexei Leonov was a Soviet cosmonaut as well as a self-taught painter. He is notable for being the first ever human to go on a spacewalk as well as being the artist who drew the first sketch made in space.

It's a drawing made with colored pencils depicting the sun rising over the Earth.

It's a humble drawing, made with passion and hope. Compared to his usual paintings it might even be described as incomplete.

And that is what this mega is all about!

◇ ◇ If you drew something that is still a Work In Progress (WIP), this is the place to share it. ◇ ◇

◇ ◇ If you have any art related thoughts or questions, this is the place for that discussion. ◇ ◇

This mega's purpose is to create a casual, low-pressure environment for artists and non-artists alike to engage in sharing their incomplete art, giving feedback to others and holding general art discussion. If you are an artist with original works that are complete, you are highly encouraged to make a standalone post for it.

And when I say incomplete, I do mean literally anything that you wouldn't consider a complete illustration or artwork, from basic anatomical sketches and messy perspective exercises to half-rendered paintings. All skill levels are welcome.

To encourage people to post their art in the comm, I will also feature one of the drawings made and shared in the comm either as a mega comment or a standalone post, with permission of course.

(Because this is the first ever art mega, I will give one of my own incomplete drawings.)
