Description
This is my drawing of the famous Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars movies. The drawing was done on 11 x 14 Strathmore 300 series paper with mostly assorted lead pencils. The background was done with an 8b pencil and then I covered that with a black Primsacolor pencil. The stars were created with a white gel pen.All comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Hi there from ProjectComment
It's nice to see some good ol' fashioned pencil drawings out there! I like how you portrayed the iconic ship of the galaxy's most notorious smuggler. You have a clear understanding of the distribution of light and shadow, and it shows. I'm just curious about the position of dish -- it's pointing straight up. I don't know any scene in Star Wars where the dish is placed like this (it's usually tilted, isn't it?) or am I just not geek enough to remember? Anyway, I also like the way you put the ship details in there and omitted some of them on the sun-lit side and in the deep shadows, this makes it actually easier for the eyes to look across the picture.
There are two things about your take on the Falcon that might need some improvement: 1. The shadings on the gangway at the starbord section (the one wich leads to the cockpit) are not smoothed out sufficiently; this makes this section look flat (when it's in fact rather cylindrical). 2. There's a big shadow on the front central part, and I have no clue where it might come from. Also I think it's too dark in value and should be lit up a little bit.
Where I have some criticism to point out as well is the planet in the background; it seems just like a big bright blotch to me. Even if it's just a plain ice desert (such as Hoth) you should apply some texture on it to make it look more interesting. Another issue is the distribution of stars in the background; they seem be too evenly distributed. Stars cluster into groups and bigger structures. The way they look now strongly reminds me of snowfall.
Anyway, that's it for today! Keep up the good work!

Hello there!
I'm from ProjectComment 's weekly commenting project and I am here to give you some feedback on your artwork.
I think you have done a great job at redrawing the Falcon from this image a.abcnews.com/images/Entertain…
The fact that I value the image of your artwork over the original speaks for its own. I think you established a wonderful contrast by solely relying on your monotone style. Thus, the content of your image is immediately recognizable even in such a small thumbnail. And the level of detail you achieved to convert from the blurry original (if that was the image you used that is); your linework is careful and precise and your rendering of the different intensity levels of shade speak volumes of your skilled hand.
The only difference I could make out from your reference is the lack of detail on Tatooine but I don't go hard on that one because it could have distracted from the main content of your drawing and doesn't really come up when you don't know the original.
Aside from that, I can only spot one perspective issue regarding the very front of the falcon, where its side towards the planet looks shorter in relation to its side towards space.
Going further than that, it's hard to give constructive feedback. I'm not drawing traditionally and from my view, I don't see a way how to improve your technique. But I do have a suggestion: It's a bit bland to just copy an already existing image, even though you are amping up the quality on that one. It'd still be more refreshing to see you add in some original aspects. For example, you could take the new design of the falcon: 4.bp.blogspot.com/-eLIwchQfRMM… and put it in the exact same angle or add some TIE Fighters chasing the falcon or a Star Destroyer in the background. Anything really to spice it up a bit.
But that's only my opinion and I come from the design-corner of art which really likes to see some new stuff out there :3
Anyway, I hope you found my feedback appealing. Have a nice day and stay healthy.

Thank you for your detailed comment. I appreciate your input very much. I do believe that was the image I used. AS far as amping up the drawing my intention was to draw the original spacecraft. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Star Wars. Thank you again. Well done.

I couldn't believe it was a drawing: at first I just thought it was a black and white frame of the movie.
It's absolutely amazing, I love it!
