A week ago on our creative instagram @miftvorchestvo we launched a competition for best performance assignments from the notebook "642 ideas of what to draw" . The task sounded simple - space. Many creative and creative works. You can see them all by the tag. We publish the best works and give step by step master class how to learn to draw space.
Best works for contest #642ideakosmos

Are they really cool? 🙂
Step by step master class
If you did not participate in the competition, but also want to learn how to draw space, save yourself somewhere these step by step instructions what and how to do to make it bright and beautiful.
1. In order to draw the Universe, only 3-4 colors are enough. At least that's how much you can start with. Important: watercolor sheet should be very dense so that it does not wrinkle from water and so that the paint spreads nicely and evenly.
2. The outline can be outlined with a solid with a simple pencil to indicate the space that you will wet with water. Wet some of the allocated space.
3. Apply paint to wetted area. Try to keep the outlines nice.
4. Wet the rest of the space with water and paint a different color. Selectively make bright inclusions throughout the pattern. The drawing must be wet so that the paint spreads beautifully.
5. After the drawing is completely dry, apply the stars. It can be white or yellow paint with an old toothbrush.
6. Some stars can be drawn more carefully.

If you sprinkle salt on a wet drawing, then the structure of the cosmos will turn out to be even more interesting. Salt will absorb some of the paint, and shaking it off after it dries completely, in place of the salt there will be beautiful white dots and clouds.
On our creative Instagram @miftvorchestvo we will regularly hold competitions for notebooks "642 ideas what to draw", "642 ideas what to write about" and "642 ideas what else to write about" (new!). Subscribe to be aware of everything creatively interesting and creatively fun.

Space pictures are what helps us to get to know the unknown world of the universe better. On clear warm evenings, looking at the sky strewn with millions of stars, people involuntarily freeze in front of its grandeur and incredible beauty. It is so mysterious and alluring.
What is hidden in the moon? Why do stars twinkle? Are there living inhabitants on other planets? A person can see the fullness of cosmic mysteries either on a dark moonless night, or admiring beautiful pictures space in excellent hd quality.
The planets of the solar system excite the imagination and cause a hundred thoughts. It is amazing that there are other worlds different from ours. Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mars - what are they? What is the earth from space, if you look at it from the side?
The answer lies in the collection, which contains pictures on the topic space. Here all its greatness, beauty, fabulousness are collected and many mysteries are revealed.
Photos of space are rich in surprises and unusual landscapes and therefore are so popular with people. They keep secrets that mankind has not yet been able to unravel. By studying photographs of the earth from space, we only put forward our assumptions about existing life in other civilizations.
Perhaps someday we will see creatures similar to us or even more developed on them. And who knows, maybe it will be tomorrow? Install image space on your desktop, and suddenly a cute alien will smile at us from the photo and happily say: “Hello!”

The planet we live on is incredibly beautiful. But who among us has not wondered, looking into the starry sky: what would life be like in others? solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy or in others? So far, we don't even know if there is life there. But when you see this beauty, you want to think that it is not just like that, that everything makes sense, that if the stars light up, then someone needs it. The Antenna Galaxy was formed as a result of the merger of two galaxies, which began several hundred million years ago. The antenna is located at a distance of 45 million light years from our solar system. Two jets energized by the gas flow are ejected from the poles of the young star.
You can indulge right after looking at these amazing photos of cosmic phenomena in the universe.1

Nebula cat's eye
Nebula cat eye
- one of the first discovered planetary nebulae, and one of the most complex, in observable space.The planetary nebula is formed when sun-like stars carefully eject their outer gaseous layers, which form bright nebulae with amazing and complex structures..
The Cat's Eye Nebula is located 3,262 light-years from our solar system.

Galaxy NGC 4696
NGC 4696 is the largest galaxy in the Centaurus cluster.New Hubble images show the dusty filaments around the center of this vast galaxy in more detail than ever before.These filaments twist inward in an intriguing spiral shape around a supermassive black hole.
10
Star cluster Omega Centauri
Ball star cluster Omega Centauri contains 10 million stars and is the largest of the approximately 200 globular clusters orbiting our Milky Way Galaxy. Omega Centauri is located at a distance of 17,000 light years from Earth.
11
Galaxy Penguin
Galaxy Penguin.From our point of view, considered by Hubble, this pair of interacting galaxies resembles a penguin guarding its egg. NGC 2936, once a standard spiral galaxy, is deformed and borders on NGC 2937, a smaller elliptical galaxy.The galaxies lie about 400 million light years in the constellation Hydra.
12
Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula
The Pillars of Creation - the remains of the central part of the gas-dust nebula Eagle in the constellation Serpens, consist, like the entire nebula, mainly of cold molecular hydrogen and dust. The nebula is located at a distance of 7,000 distant light years from us.
13
Abell Galaxy Cluster S1063
This image of Hubble is a very chaotic universe filled with distant and nearby galaxies.Some are distorted like a curved mirror due to the curvature of space, a phenomenon first predicted by Einstein a hundred years ago.At the center of the image is the huge galaxy cluster Abell S1063, located 4 billion light-years away.
14
Whirlpool Galaxy
The graceful, sinuous arms of majestic spiral galaxy M51 appear as a great spiral staircase rushing through space. These are actually long lanes of stars and gas, saturated with dust.
15
Star nursery in the Carina Nebula
Billowing clouds of cold interstellar gas and dust rise from the raging Stellar Nursery, located 7,500 light-years away in the Southern constellation of Carina.This pillar of dust and gas serves as an incubator for new stars.Hot, young stars and blurring clouds create this fantasy landscape, sending out stellar winds and scorching ultraviolet light.
16
Sombrero Galaxy
The hallmark of the Sombrero Galaxy is a brilliant white core surrounded by a thick layer of dust that forms the spiral structure of the galaxy.. The Sombrero lies at the southern edge of the Virgo Cluster and is one of the most massive objects in this group, equivalent to 800 billion suns.The galaxy is 50,000 light years and is located 28 million light years from Earth.
17
Butterfly Nebula
What resemble graceful butterfly wings are actually boilers of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The gas is rushing through space at more than 600,000 miles per hour. A dying star that was once about five times the mass of the Sun is at the center of this fury. The Butterfly Nebula is located in our Milky Way galaxy, about 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpio.

crab nebula
Pulse in the core of the Crab Nebula. While many other images of the Crab Nebula have focused on filaments in the outer part of the nebula, this image shows the very heart of the nebula including the central neutron star - the rightmost of the two bright stars near the center of this image. A neutron star has the same mass as the sun, but is compressed into an incredibly dense sphere several kilometers in diameter. Rotating 30 times per second, the neutron star releases beams of energy, making it appear to pulsate. The Crab Nebula lies 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus.

Pre-planetary nebula IRA 23166+1655
One of the finest geometric shapes created in space, this image shows the formation of an unusual pre-planetary nebula known as IRA 23166+1655 around the star LL Pegasi in the constellation Pegasus.
20
Nebula Retina
A dying star, IC 4406 shows a high degree of symmetry; the left and right halves of the Hubble image are almost mirror images of the other. If we could fly around IC 4406 in spaceship, we would see the gas and dust form a vast doughnut out of the substantial outflow from the dying star. From Earth, we view the donut from the side. This side view allows us to see intricate tendrils of dust that have compared to the retina of the eye. The nebula lies about 2,000 light-years away, near the southern constellation Lupus.
21
Monkey Head Nebula
NGC 2174 is 6,400 light-years distant from us in the constellation Orion. The colorful region is filled with young stars encased in bright wisps of cosmic gas and dust. This part of the Monkey Head Nebula was captured in 2014 by Hubble Camera 3.
22
Spiral Galaxy ESO 137-001
This galaxy looks strange. One side of it looks like a typical spiral galaxy, while the other side seems to be destroyed. The bluish streaks that stretch down and out from the galaxy are clusters of hot young stars trapped in jets of gas. These shreds of matter will never return to the bosom of the parent galaxy. Like huge fish with its belly ripped open, the galaxy ESO 137-001 plows through space, losing its insides.
23
Giant tornadoes in the Lagoon Nebula
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows long interstellar 'tornadoes' - eerie tubes and twisted structures - at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula, which lies 5,000 light-years in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.
24
Gravity lenses in Abell 2218
This rich cluster of galaxies is made up of thousands of individual galaxies and lies about 2.1 billion light-years from Earth in the Northern constellation Draco. Astronomers use gravitational lenses as powerful magnifications for distant galaxies. Strong gravitational forces not only amplify the images of hidden galaxies, but also distort them into long, thin arcs.
25
Hubble's farthest position
Each object in this image is a separate galaxy made up of billions of stars. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest image of the cosmos. Called “Extreme Outer Position” by Hubble (or Hubble’s Ultra-Deep Field), this image represents a “deep” core sample of the universe shrinking across billions of light-years. Image includes galaxies different ages, sizes, shapes and colors. The smallest, reddest galaxies may be among the most distant ones that have existed since the universe was only 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - flourished about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. In stark contrast, along with a host of classic spiral and elliptical galaxies, there is a zoo of bizarre galaxies that litter the area. Some look like toothpicks; others are like a link on a bracelet.
In ground-based photographs, a section of the sky in which galaxies live (just one tenth of the diameter full moon) is mostly empty. The image required 800 exposures taken during Hubble's 400 orbits around the Earth. The total exposure amount was 11.3 days spent between September 24, 2003 and January 16, 2004.
