Artist's Comments

This one took 13 hours and 20 minutes. I timed it exactly :D But I was lazy and it took me 9 days because I was doing only 1 or 2 hours a day =p

Hair and beard aren't so hot, but overall I'm happy with it :) I never want to do a Jedi cloak again, aaaagh! Clothes are so boring. I discovered while drawing this that Ewan has a funny nose :D (don't kill me Tarkh!) Obviously not unattractive, but funny all the same =p

I have no idea who I'm doing next... I don't want to do Anakin as a Padawan, and I'm having trouble finding references for the OT characters :( Oh well, I'll figure it out.

EDIT: Darkened up his hair a bit so he's not so blonde looking =p

regardless of how boring it was to draw, the robe came out wonderfully. this seems almost 3-d, the shading is so detailed. yay you! :clap:

:clap: You improve quickly!!!!!! Very well done. I like the beard :)
What kind of pencil did you use?
the clothes are boring aren't they, I totally agree :p

btw, just a suggestion: don't be afraid to darken the face. i had that fear before, but finally got over it, and it improved my drawings dramatically!!! It really makes the face round, as it should.
try it with photoshop first, if you're not sure ;)

You probably shouldn't bother :D Unless Episode III is amazing. Then you should watch them all, lol! I'll tell you if it's any good ;) Thank you! :)

Really? I rushed on it cause it was evil :D I was using charcoal but I only have 1 charcoal pencil so shading was very interesting... =p Thanks, that's encouraging! I still don't want to draw any more clothes :D

I thought it was dark :( Oh well, I've been working on that =p What kind of pencil did I use where? lol I used almost everything from 6B to 4H in this drawing. 6B, 5B, 3B, 2B, B, F, H and 4H :D 3B to F on the face, 6B to H on the hair. The 4H was for making lines that I didn't want to show through in the end. And on the robe I used a charcoal pencil.

Thank you! :)
