Some portraits

[JediGirl]

Hi guys. :)
So... these are two portraits I did this weekend. I haven´t been drawing for a while and keep getting the eyes too big and the faces to short but... yeah...just my stuff...

The first one is Anakin, the second one´s supposed to be a young Obi Wan

[JediGirl]

And one more, here you go :bye:

[Justin]

Pretty cool. Do you draw from memory?

[JediGirl]

Thanks, Justin! :)
No, I draw from photos. Memory is too hard.

[Master Magnus]

Very nice, JediGirl!

Oh, and :welcome:

[JediGirl]

Thanks for the welcome Justin. :D I just recently discovered Star Wars and watched all the movies within a couple of weeks... now I´m hooked I guess. I try to find time to do some more sketched these days

[MasterJedi12]

They are very good. I like how you utilize the shading. They are a bit light for me to see. Perhaps you can scan it darker or something. Still they are good. Mine are messy ink paintings. :D

[JediGirl]

Thanks a lot MasterJedi12 :blush:
I tried to scan this one a little darker... might be better to see... I hope.
Okay, this is Princess Leia. I´m not too satisfied with what the mouth turned out but didn´t manage it any better.. *sigh*

[MasterJedi12]

Very good. I can see what you mean on the mouth. Overall, it looks just like the scene in ESB when Han tells her that he was going to leave in his scoundrel way.

[JediGirl]

Okay, here we go again... :) Another one which I somehow like actually. I might do a little more work on his hair and the face shading but am somewhat okay with it so far.

[MasterJedi12]

Yep that looks like little Ani from TPM. Good job. I like really I do. You should check out some of mine. I just posted two more links to images.

[JediGirl]

Another one, Han Solo this time. :ohhlala:
I´m not too happy with what the scan turned out as that stupid crappy thing of a scanner didn´t capture the shading around the nose and mouth exactly as they are in the original :banghead:

[MasterJedi12]

I know that can be frustrating. Still he looks like Han. Is it one from ANH? That's what he looks like.

[JediGirl]

Thanks :blush:
Yeah, it´s from A New Hope, the scene when they are in this weird inn, :shots: don´t ask me what the name was exactly, I´ve only once seen the movies so far. ;)

[MasterJedi12]

Oh the cantina scene right? Yeah now I can hear the music in me head and I want to dance. :D

[JediGirl]

Okay, now that my scanners working again...more or less, here´s another one I did yesterday evening.

[MasterJedi12]

My favorite Jedi! No it's not Yoda but Obi-Wan Kenobi!!
This one came out AWESOME!! It is like one of the best so far.

[JediGirl]

He´s my favourite Jedi as well :ohhlala:
And awwww thanks a lot :blush:
Oh and by the way... had any ideas about your concept art yet? :)

[MasterJedi12]

Still thinking about it because I take real people and alter features. Working on it. Patience for the Jedi it is time to eat as well :lol:

[JediGirl]

*lol* So true... I´d be such a lousy Jedi :lol:
*pictures Obi Wan rolling his eyes at me* :bop:

[JediGirl]

Okay, yet another one I just finished. Supposed to be Luke. I somehow like some of the shadings around the eyes and nose, but I didn´t manage the hair for some reason :banghead:
I don´t know why but somehow, Luke is horribly hard to draw... :bop:

[JediGirl]

Yet another one.... I called it "Lord Vader" :vader:

[MasterJedi12]

Very good. The one of Ani I think is the best of the ones on this page. You really captured his dark side.

good......

[Shistavanen Jedi]

I thought the one of Luke and Anakin were your best pics, actually.

[JediGirl]

Thanks, you two! :)

[DarthLazious]

Jedi Girl I'm impressed...Can you do one of Palpatine?

[JediGirl]

Thank you, Darth Lazious :blush: :D *feels flattered*

I´ll see what I can do, okay? I´ll try it and post it here

[Darth Anakin]

Jedi girl,you do great portraits!I am an art designer too,and I am planing to make an topic too,so dont forget to post!Lets get back to the pictures...The are great!!And I think the best are the Anakin and Ob1 pictures! :(

Cheers! :cheers:

[JediGirl]

Thanks, Darth Anakin! :D :blush:
Sure, I´ll make sure to post as soon as you put up some of your art. :)

[Darth Anakin]

Oh,I am terribly sorry... I said :( instead of :)

Sorry again!

[JediGirl]

Never mind, Darth Anakin, no offense taken :lol:

[Darth Anakin]

I'm glad to hear that! :grin:

[JediGirl]

Okay... uhm.... why´s this bloke so hard to draw? :bop:
So, DarthLazious, this is for you. I tried my best, but still the mouth turned out a little bit odd....nevertheless, I hope you like it a bit.

Palpatine for DarthLazious

[MasterJedi12]

It's very good. I think the difficult part was the shadow, the way how his face was positioned. Still I can make out that it is Palpatine as the senator of Naboo. Maybe it would be easier if you tried him as chancellor?

[JediGirl]

Yeah, I think so. The shadows were really hard but it was difficult to find a good picture to easily draw from. I might try another one these days, by the weekend maybe...

[MasterJedi12]

Looking forward to it. I have a couple up my sleeve myself, at least in my brain's sleeve :lol:

[flo fett]

Nice work! You seem to just get better and better with each picture! Well done.
Do you think you could try a Boba Fett for me? Pleeeease? :D

[empire21]

Wow, that "Lord Vader" is intense :thumbs-up:

[JediGirl]

Well, thanks empire21 :)

Uhm... flo fett.. I will try but won´t find time for it over the next few days I´m afraid. Could you mabe post a photo here? I must admit I have only once seen the movies so far (with exception of episode I and ROTJ which I have watched 2 or 3 times) so to my shame I have to say that right now I do not have the character before my eyes right now... :blush:

[flo fett]

LOL, not a problem. He wasn't in the original three movies that much. I was (and am) such a total geek that I formed a fixation on one of the minor characters. He became strangely popular though and there's quite a few of us Fettheads out there now (to put it mildly). And don't worry about how long it takes, just whenever you've got the time. :D Thanks. keep up the good work!

here's some pictures to help you!

[JediGirl]

Oh man that looks like quite of a challenge... no eyes... no nose and no mouth (hm... I always mess up the mouths so... :lol: ) Okay, will be a new thing to try and experiment with shadows.

[Darth Strange]

Pretty good.

[Edgeomatic]

That Lord Vader picture is incredible.

[Jedi Master 2k5]

Sweet pics

[Sarah-Leia]

You're really good! I wish like hell I could draw like that. I might submit a drawing of Padme when I get home. (I'm at my dad's house right now...no scanner, and it's useless to scan when you haven't got the picture with you.)

[JediGirl]

Aww, thanks for all of your nice reviews :)
Sorry, I´ve not been around for quite a time. Been quite busy, but I might come around updating something in a while.

[Ironsiderodger]

Hey JediGirl,

Very admirable job with that Leia Portrait, you sure don't have to guess who it is. It's funny you mentioned the mouth, I'm working from that same photo in my own interpretation (which I hope to post tomorrow) and I went through three coffee pots in three hours on that blasted (but lovely) mouth alone! It nice to know I wasn't the only one who struggled.

[Ironsiderodger]

Wow- nicely done, just saw the Palmeister.

[STar war spUNK]

i <333333333 your luke skywalker! mark hamil was so hot back in the day. *sigh*

[NarCranor]

Wow! You have shown AMAZING improvement since your first two images! The final Obi-Wan image and Anakin images were lightyears ahead of your first two attempts! You have obviously been working very hard to improve! Congratulations on the gigantic strides of progress you have made since starting this thread! You have come a long, long way!

[JediGirl]

I was not even working so very hard, NarCranor, the pics were posted in the order I painted them, I painted nothing in between. I got a handful of very useful tipps from someone who does great portraits:) and I tried to apply these tipps which has worked to some extent. I am using a grid when drawing, helps me to get the proportions right.
I´d love to draw more and I know I promised a Boba Fett to flo fett. I hope you won´t be mad at me by now, flo, :crying: but I really don´t come around getting anything like that done at the moment. I´m heavily involved in writing my final exam paper for university which will be around 100 pages once it´ll be finished. Don´t get much time to do nice things like drawing. :pinch:

[Ponder]

Well I hope you do continue, you have great talent. Don't give up, and keep going. By the way, good luck on your paper.

[Sarah-Leia]

Very nice! I tried drawing Anakin, I used the frickin' how to draw thing on sw.com and it wasn't half as good as yours!
