I made some fanart! This is Ahsoka! She’s Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice during the Clone Wars. I’m hoping I can get it autographed eventually – I got a drawing I did of the Supernatural boys signed by both and it makes me happy whenever I see it. I don’t want to post the large image yet so it can’t be stolen before I have the chance to get my original autographed, but here is the progress! I really struggled with her face. At first it was WAY too purple. I had made it purple on purpose like the shadow on her arm (because most of her face is in shadow also,) but instead of a shadow, it just looked like she was two-toned and it was bad. I did not scan her with her purple face, so there’s no image of that included below.
I’m super happy with how her headtails came out! I wasn’t quite sure how it was all going to go. That’s why I did the light layer of color blocking right away to get a better picture of everything (no pun intended.) As soon as I started on the first headtail in images 4/5 of the top row I was super excited about it because they actually look rounded/3D. The whole time I was envisioning doing a green background for her because her original lightsaber is green, but when I was done I decided green wouldn’t look right since her shadows are purple toned – it doesn’t look like she has green light shining on her at all, so I added in the purple to the background edges (it’s purple in real life, but I know it looks blue) and went with a darker green than I planned. I think it came out really well. I also colored the paper black at the end. I plan to get the black part singed at the bottom.
