Planet ink drawings

These are some larger scale ink drawings that I did in order to try and refine the planets I've done so far - Venus, Mercury, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Jupiter and Earth are proving to be very difficult to do, and I don't think I've quite got there with Venus or Mars either - I'm pleased with Mercury though as it's simple like the planet (second to last).

I think I need to try and simplify the forms of the planets in order to make them more graphic, but I want to still be expressive with the brush strokes as I think this will help imply more of a sense of character or wonder in the planets. This should be easy enough to do with Venus, what with it being a big ball of fire like the sun.
