Glitbiter: Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my style! Yes, I love making drawings with a lot of emotion-- whether that's funny or heartache. grin A lot of people seem to be liking my 'Jedi at the Outlander Club' tongue laugh , and I'm glad you liked 'Anakin's Schooling' and 'Would you be proud', even though they're not some of my technically best. As for more, there's usually more coming out, even though I've got a lot on my plate with finishing school I'm working on inking the Luke piece. happy

I love the expression on Luke's face. It does a great job of capturing the goofy callow youth he was back on Tatooine.

I also can't believe I never thought of using Illustrator to ink. doh!

Thanks, Forrest, grin Yeah, that was what I was trying to capture, glad to see it came through. And, yeah, Illustrator can be really helpful for inking, especially for someone like me whose hand isn't always the steadiest tongue

I've been using pens to ink, but Illustrator would definitely be preferable because my hands aren't the steadiest either. I can't count the times I've almost finished inking a drawing only to have the line end slightly off, but off enough that it changes the look of the image. tongue

FF: Hi! grin Thank you, thanks so much. :hug: Yeah, I love unruly hair grin

Exactly.

I really like the colored version. When I pictured it colored it didn't even occur to me that there would be atmospheric lighting, but I like how it turned out.

Wow, love the purple! I've never thought of sunsets as being purple, but it really makes the piece stand out. His eyes and the highlights on his hair are gorgeous, and I love the look on his face - so goofy, so innocent love He reminds me of the Disney characters, I think it's wonderful happy

I'll jump in with the "terrific coloring" on this piece, SJ! applause The way you've done it is very dynamic, and gives it a wonderful energy--and it's so very much Luke from ANH! Cool highlighting, and good use of shadowing, too!

Geeee!! applause Wonderful! I loved this when you started it, and I'm so glad you didn't abandon it completely--great job on the finish! The "layering" of the three of them feels so effortless, and the likenesses are very good--and I just love the idea of this! love A wonderful Skywalker family moment! **gets emotional** Well done!!
