Drawing Prompt Week 15

 Prompt: Aether

According to ancient and medieval science, aether is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.
In other words, the sky.

So, the sky is the limit! 

Clouds, sunrise, sunset, moons, stars, birds flying in the sky, skyscrappers reaching to the heavens. Or just a lovely sky as a background to your overall work.
Artists who loved the sky: Turner, John Constable, Van Gogh, Franklin Booth, Hokusai, Cezanne... and so many more!

HERE is a good article to inspire.

As I am an artist who draws from preference rather than paint, my skies tend to be in pencil or in ink, or sometimes pastel. Use color or stick to monotone - your choice.
