Project Remake - Jedi

Happy New Year everybody! Project Remake continues with a remake of a picture of a jedi. Or at least a padawan, she still has a braid. Those of you who do not know what a jedi is should watch the Star Wars movies for more information. In 2005 I had a huge jedi phase in my life, thanks to the movie Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith that appeared that same year. I had a lot more pictures of jedi but this one is my ultimate favourite because even now I think it is a good picture, even though it has been seven years since I drew it. I say seven, because it's only the beginning of the year 2013 and I'm sure I didn't draw this in January.

When I re-drew this picture I wasn't sure I would be able to draw a better one. My skills as drawer have improved but I was so proud of the picture that I thought that if I could not draw a better version of it, I might as well give up. I decided to create the outfit of hers again and I had to google Obi-Wan Kenobi in order to see, what kind of robes did he wear again. It wouldn't have felt right to draw a robe that was not 'jedi' enough so I copied quite a lot from Obi-Wan's robe. Oh well...


In the original picture I used only pencil and in the new one I used both pencil and ink. I'm quite proud of her hair in the picture, especially because there are two, no, three sources of light. Also the tree's took their time to look nice but I did it. I guess I'm never going to learn to avoid little details. One thing I'm not happy about is the lightsabre. It looks way better in the older picture but try to make it look as epic with ink... Well, nobody's perfect.

...and after.

Before...
