  "textContent": "submitted by Vostok_ to art\n48 points | 11 comments\n\n\nAlexei 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.\n\nIt’s a drawing made with colored pencils depicting the sun rising over the Earth.\n\nIt’s a humble drawing, made with passion and hope. Compared to his usual paintings it might even be described as incomplete.\n\nAnd that is what this mega is all about!\n\n* * *\n\n◇ ◇ If you drew something that is still a Work In Progress (WIP), **this is the place to share it**. ◇ ◇\n\n◇ ◇ If you have any art related thoughts or questions, **this is the place for that discussion**. ◇ ◇\n\nThis 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.\n\nAnd 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.\n\n**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.**\n\n(Because this is the first ever art mega, I will give one of my own incomplete drawings.)\n\n◇ ◇ **Featured drawing:** ◇ ◇\n\nThis mega’s art prompt word is:\n\n◇ ◇ **future** ◇ ◇",
