Coronal Rain – iPad Digital Illustration

coronal-rain

Coronal Rain is a phenomenon in which an arc of plasma following along the magnetic fields of the sun, cools and falls back to the surface. Such a display was captured in a time-lapse from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2012. The video of this phenomenon which was the inspiration for this artwork can be viewed here. This piece was created on the iPad using the Sketchbook Pro app. Below is the time-lapse video of the artwork from start to completion. Prints can be purchased here.
