Hi,
I drew Jaina and Mara Fanarts, but I'm a amateur and hope you will comment my pictures or give tips. I have show some of them to my oldest brother what he said was very useful.

I wanted to draw Jaina and thought that Padme in AOTC maybe looks a bit like her, but when I had finished it looked like Mara.... worried

I called this picture "Yun-Harla" cause Jaina looks very evil.

Okay, I think these are the best but you can find more on my homepage. Thanks for taking a look.

I don't see them either. I'm getting the dreaded 'Image Hosted by Tripod' picture...

Hello Chilla and welcome to Fan Art!

I've heard from a number of other users that Tripod doesn't allow hotlinking to images, so to post up thumbnails here, you may want to try using another hosting service--Image Shack and Photobucket are good ones (both free and both easy to use).

On that note--I went to your site that you listed in your sig and looked through your images--all are very nice! The first one of Jaina is easily my favorite, as it has the most detail, particularly in the eyes--it's apparent that you used a reference for it, as it's well proportioned and the features are placed very realistically. I also like the "shot" of Jaina with her lightsaber ignited, watching the X-wing and coralskipper in battle--kind of like a scene from one of the books. You have a good strong sense of line--you may want to try to do some more shading in your works, as it really helps to "bring out" the subject, giving it volume and space. Hope to see more of your work!

FF

Wow, thanks all.

@FalconFan: Have you seen that I displayed almost all of your pictures? Hope it is okay...
I think you draw wonderful pictures, the best SW pictures I've ever seen.

I will try to fix it so everybody can see them, but I can't promise it. If you have still problems to see them, go and visit my Homepage.

Now it works. applause
Cause Falcon Fan likes it, here the picture with Jaina watching the X-Wing. The X-Wing and the Vong ship are from the cover of Onslaught, i think.

Welcome Chilla. happy

I checked out your site. The 'marajadepadme' picture does look like a combination of all three woman. What was the 'original' to this picture btw? It's a good start. I like the eyes the most as they help in determining who's face it actually is. The hair reminded me of Jaina for some reason. Shading really does help in making the face more alike to the character/person. My advice is to start experimenting with shading lightly, and then post a progress shot. Her face looks very flat at the moment, which is why the shading would help. I'll be able to give more help after seeing what picture you were actually trying to draw.

The 'Yun-Harla' one doesn't have as good likeness as the first one, but I can definately see the 'evil look' in her expression which is good.

Everyone's facial features are different, and I know it's difficult to get it right, but after practice you'll get better. I find that looking at more experienced portrait artists can help in understanding how you can improve on yours.

Artists can also go for different effects. One could go for an ultra-realistic version, another person could do a more abstract version of it, and focus on conveying an emotion through pencil strokes instead of thinking about getting every little detail just right. IMO both are good ways of doing art.

The onslaught cover drawing is good. happy Have you ever considered colouring it? That could be fun.. either with real coloured pencils, or on the computer. wink

I look forward to more of your work. wink Sorry if I said too much. tongue

I enjoy drawing portraits as well, and I hope what I said above helps in some way.


Edited for a typo.

Thanks dashleebo!
You didn't write too much. It really helps what you said.

Well, I took Padme from AOTC and wanted to change her face so she looks more like Jaina, but I think she looks more like Mara. Cause I like it this way I haven't changed it.

Thanks everybody for visiting my site. I took a look at my visitor counter and was surprised, about 20 visitors more on one day. love

That link with Jaina watching the Xwing works for me now. I like the image a lot, and the idea behind it is very strong.

I agree with DashLeebo that it would look terrific coloured. I think you'd be able to show the depth and atmosphere between Jaina and the ship a lot better with a little colour.

I checked out some of your portraits on the site, and I like what you're doing. I think you have a good foundation and you'll probably pick up a lot of tips for shading and rendering just by hanging around this forum.

Thanks wicktone!
You are right, I can learn a lot here.
I'll try to color the picture. It might take some time.

I drew a new Jaina picture last night, but I had problems with her shoes and her legs...

Welcome to the boards Chilla! Glad to have you here and hope you feel welcome. Your work is very good, great sense of emotion and ideas. My only comment would be to resize the images if possible. It's hard to get an overall look at the images when they're so big. But that's just me and what I see anyway looks really good.

I agree with other comments that it would be wonderful to see you colour some of these...set yourself the challenge and I'd love to see what you come up with. happy Hope to see some more in the near future.

Of course we'll take a look at your wallpapers! Post up the links--we'd love to see them!

Your latest Jaina piece is very good--I really like the expression on her face, and the sort of "annoyed" posture, with her arms crossed (her face is very much how I picture Jaina's appearance, too! wink ). And as to the feet--lordy, I can't do legs and feet to save my soul either, lol! On that note, don't go strictly by what I'm saying--grab a magazine or catalog with full-body pictures of women in similar poses and really study the positions of their legs and feet. Often, photographs of figures (or studying in threads like DarthZemog or LadySythe--both are accomplished masters at rendering the human figure) can help with perspectives like that. I also like that you've kept her Jedi robes very simple--I just could never imagine Jaina Solo going for a "fru-fru" look! There's a good capture of emotion in this piece, too--I like it a lot! Keep up the good work, and lets see some of those wallpapers!
