Description This sketch card was started at the end of 2010. Life has been so hectic at work, it has taken me this long to finally finish it! I've never drawn Queen Amidala in this costume and would really hate to tackle it in a 9 x 12 or larger version!

Star Wars and all characters belong to their owners and not me.

I found the reference on the internet at one of the Padme Amidala websites.

Time and materials:
5.15 hours
2.5 x 3.5 Bristol trading card paper
Derwent pencils F to 4B
2H Kimberly pencil
2B and HB mechanical pencil
kneaded eraser
blending stumps
Kleenex

Thank you!  I have no idea where I found this photo so I've put it in my scrapbook folder here on DA so you can get it there.  Hope you get to draw it soon!

beautiful! i never realised that Amidala was played by Keira Knightley - or at least, at one point she was...i think?

Thank you! In Episode I, Keira disguises herself as Queen Amidala. She wears the black outfit with the feathers on the headdress and the black and red battle suit at the end. One of the things George Lucas did to cover this is he had Natalie pose in the black outfit for publicity shots!

The theatricality of the character and the smart mish-mash of visual, historical influences makes the young Queen one of your best subjects. You rock.

Wooooooow, how on Earth did you manage to get so much detail onto such a tiny space?! I'm impressed. Again. Seriously, this is brilliant!

khinson In reply to SvenjaLiv [2011-01-31 22:27:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'd really be scared to try this costume on a large piece of paper. The headpiece just has too many details!

Yeah, I'd imagine that it'd probably take weeks!

If I had half your talent I'm sure I would also enjoy it, but as it stands I can just admire yours instead.

You know, I study these tiny masterpieces so carefully and am, quite simply, flabbergasted by the precise lines and incredible detailing--the hair and hair pieces, her filligreed collar, her beautiful likeness... Stunning! I really like the reference, too--one I haven't seen before, which makes the drawing all the more special! Perfect way to start off the year, Dear!

Thank you so much! I really tried to put as much detail into this as possible. I've had this reference for awhile, but I'm not sure where I found it! So many good SW reference sites have closed in the last few years. Thanks again for your comments, I really do appreciate your encouragement!
