One of my goals this year is to get back into drawing. I haven’t done it in a while, and it shows. I pulled my Copics back out and a lot of them needed to be refilled so they were streaky and ‘eh’.
I want to draw a picture of Princess Leia that I am happy with to go on my wall. This is NOT it, but it’s my first try. I think her eyes are fine, but the lips are off.
Here is my line drawing. Originally, I planned on doing her in grays, but then I just went for color. I think grays would have been better since I haven’t marker rendered in so long.
I am completely obsessed with metallics right now, so metallic happened too.
When I was “done”, I thought the hairline was a tad too harsh (You can see that in the first metallic image) so I added some wispy baby hairs. I was happy with how that turned out.
I also got a little over-enthusiastic with the white gel pen and forgot that a lot of white lines in your hair will look like gray hairs. Ha! I had to go back and mute those down.
And here is a pic with my little helper Dahlia for scale (and so I can show off my beautiful baby).
Thanks for looking!

Oh, also, if anyone wants to trade me something for her, she is up for grabs. I am not going to do anything with her.

Amazing! I agree; if this is your idea of rusty, I can’t even imagine what “good” would look like. Totally gorgeous!

Okay, I see what you mean that it isn’t Princess Leia just yet, but it IS an amazing portrait of a woman! I love it!

I knew when I first saw this that it was Carrie Fisher- I think you should be proud of this piece! It’s a knockout Princess Leia and I’m not surprised that someone snapped it up!

The shading on her braided hair? EPIC. Your foray back was a smash!
