Description The lovely Princess Leia during, or maybe looking back on, her time in Jabba's Palace. I love her expression and the lighting in this shot, so I had to draw it. At the bottom, you have the palace itself.

I used watercolour, colour pencils, and white gel pen. The details on the margin are done with copper gel pen, but they're hard to see in the scan.

It's sketch card size, so 2.5 x 3.5". My scanner tends to destroy and blur the really tiny details, but hopefully it looks good anyway.

She's really beautiful! Those eyes are so lovely and expressive. Great job with the skin tone and sculpting her cheek.

Why do scanners hate us so much???
Any way, this still looks pretty amazing and detailed to me!

SvenjaLiv In reply to LilaeaBluecoat [2012-02-12 01:01:05 +0000 UTC]

Because we always make them look at our work, maybe! I dunno. I guess mine does the best it can. They just can't do reflective surfaces so well. (I read about someone who tried to scan a mirror the other day. Needless to say, it didn't work; the scanned image didn't actually reflect things in front of the computer screen. )

I'm glad you like this though, thank you!

Yes, I suppose we have to keep in mind scanners weren't really designed for art.

You're welcome!

That works great! I really like the colour choices and the border finished it off. I can make out the copper too Your going to have no colour pencils left with all this teeny sharpening

Glad you like it - and you can see the copper, yay! I love these colours, I really need to use them more often. And heh, you might be right. One of my blacks is already a tiny stub, about an inch long, but I still use it. But, it's worth it! Thank you!
