So is Leia a Disney Princess now?

Drawing Bo-Katan: Colors and Presentation

Here is a clip of the rendering without all the Photoshop nonsense:

I know, I know, it seems like a huge jump from the last stage, one day I'll have to spend a little more time outlining the coloring process. All coloring is done in Photoshop, which also offers some valuable tools to  fix things up outside of colors. Some of the adjustments I made after the inks were with the bent knee and a subtle perspective correction (with 'distort') that helped the overall proportions.

In the end I felt it to be a successful piece, at least for being my first attempt at the character.

Drawing Bo-Katan: Inks

Over into Manga Studio now, which is pretty fun at this stage of the drawing. Was really pleased with my inks on this, a somewhat rare occurrence :-P

Drawing Bo-Katan: Cleanup

Knowing I was going to ink this and that the outfit had some very specific details, I spent a little more time refining the roughs. Was also irked by those funky kneepads, so I whipped up a dirty 3D model for help. A little creative licence here, too, just felt like putting something a little bulkier than the model showed.

Drawing Bo-Katan: Pose and Roughs

This was done on a Wacom in photoshop. Loose roughs for the pose and then a little refinement before the detail stage.

Drawing Bo-Katan: Reference and Sketching

Saw this character on a snippet of Clone Wars and was quickly drawn to her, so of course popped around the web for a little reference. The sketching was just to get a feel for things, specifically how that armor would work in a drawing. I also love the design of the classic Boba Fett helmet, and the variations of the Mandalorian armor that artists have been creating over the years.
