R2-D2

C-3PO

In the weeks counting down to the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo (September 26, 27 & 28), I thought I'd post some Star Wars themed sketches that I did last winter.

This post is a continuation of the one I did last week about the Leia and Luke portrait paintings.

These paintings started as drawings in my sketchbook that I did for fun last fall. I liked how the sketches turned out, so I decided to paint them.

The idea was to do my version of classic portraits of the actors from the original Star Wars movies as if they were nobility from the renaissance. I really liked the idea of combining finished, rendered faces with graphite line drawings of ornate frames.

Lately I've been sketching Star Wars characters in my style. Above is Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.
