Description More practice, only I decided to use our one and only Mara Jade instead of the other characters that will appear in my future comic. (There's a chance that Mara will make a minor appearance as a child in the comic, though that depends on how the story line shapes up.)

on a side note, I finally learned how to do a passable skin tone with colored pencils! I'm so relieved, since I fought with this pic for a long time...

Ooooo!!! I'm so awful, I haven't been in to gush over this yet and add it to s! I love it--it very much reminds me of Mara from the novel "Allegiance," where she's hard at work as Palpatine's Hand--young, tough, deadly. The colored pencil work is very nice--I especially love the hair! Don't be afraid to go a little darker on the skin shadows--it'll really make her pop! Lovely work!

I'll have to read that novel, it sounds really good! All I've ever read about Mara is the books she first appeared in: the ones by Timothy Zahn (such a good author!) as well as some really well done fanfics. I loved her character ever since, she is SO perfect for Luke. (I can't imagine how he must have felt once she got killed by that double crosser Jacen! Why do almost all my favorite characters DIE???)

Thanks for the tips, I really should have left it uncolored, but I couldn't help coloring in her eyes... and the rest just sort of followed. XD I think her hair here is my favorite part, to tell you the truth, other then her expression itself. I've never done curly/wavy hair before this, and it was actually really fun to draw.

"I really should have left it uncolored"

Nah--it looks great! Very good blending and tones--tough to do with colored pencils, so kudos on that! And "Allegiance" is a good read--kind of fills in a bit of Mara's past we knew little about, save from some comics... Look for it in the library--then you wouldn't have to buy it!

True, I'll look in the library. It's always better to get a book from there first. LOL

Aww, she's cute! That actually really close to how I picture her!

Kelev In reply to CDS-03 [2008-12-02 00:30:28 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I have a feeling she wouldn't like being called cute... until she falls for Luke. I love that couple, it's so much fun to read.

CDS-03 In reply to Kelev [2008-12-02 02:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but that doesn't make it any less true! ^^ And they have to be my favorite Star Wars couple, beside Han and Leia.

Han and Leia for the win! They are better then Anakin and Padme, in my opinion.

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased at how the hair turned out, though it scanned in rather bright...

Man, you're a great artist; I like how you drew her in sort of an animated style

Kelev In reply to Goblinthegreat [2008-06-10 14:35:52 +0000 UTC]

That was my goal. I love animated styles that aren't too cartoony, like the Prince Of Egypt's style. It's been a major influence on my own style of drawing.

I've been trying to draw her DC animated universe style, but it always warps itself into my own style instead >_>

Kelev In reply to PulsarZero [2008-06-14 03:00:07 +0000 UTC]

Don't feel bad, after all, it's hard to go against one's natural style of drawing. Just keep practicing.
