Artist Solo29's Art - Updated May 23 (Star Wars Galaxy 6 Returns!)

no biggie about reference stuff, and as you keep stating practice makes perfect, right? You can't learn how to draw stuff like that unless you study it at greath lengh.. If at some point you don't need them then cool but all great artists needed people and models to look off of to paint some of the great things in the world.

 

Just got back from Palm Springs (I live in Phoenix) and I thought I'd take a peep in here. Wonderful likenesses there, Han. What really strikes me about them is how much they say in so few strokes. Great things in your future I predict. Yes. Mmmm.(bad Yoda impression over).

 

Actually I'm just enjoying a brief pit stop. My job takes me all over. Sunday it's Las Vegas and then a brief detour into Utah(ZZZZ).My schedule is so rushed, I've taken to buying those little molskine sketchooks and drawing faces out of magazines while I'm sitting at the airport. I'd draw people from life, but once they realize you're staring at them they either get really uncomfortable or really freindly. Both of those things can be bad depending on the situation. Especially if the subject has a husband. Sitting right there. Yep, magazines are great source material.

Never doubt your ability, Han. In fact, get a little arrogant about it. Youre good. Bask in that.

 

THEFORCE16, I would let you draw me. Unfortunately, Phoenix is a little distance from the Salt Lake area.

Some people just don't appreciate some things. I worked as a janitor after school for a while, and one afternoon, a member of the yearbook comitee(sp?) called my name, I turned, and he raised a camera...which wouldn't take the picture. So, what's a sophomore to do?

I held the pose while the guy fixed the problem, and got a 'candid' shot in the yearbook.

Just ignore the evil looks. They can't hurt you. The people giving them can, but the looks can't.

 

I like the expression on Han's face...

 

Very nice handling of Han's fabric and Chewie's hair. Great expression on Han's face too! Thanks for posting that again because I had not seen it before.

 

I really agree with Obi-Dawn, all the little hair details on Chewie look great, and Han also is well done. I particularly like the segment of his jacket where the light is showing.. There you have subtly put in several wrinkles in the fabric and I think it blends so nicely with the overall look of the picture.

 

Love that Han and Chewie one. Han's expression totally says to me, "Uh, oh."

 

Rocie,I'm not sure if it says "Oh, oh", but it sure says,"I think we could have a few problems."

Hansolo29 you draw very well. I'm not sure what background if any would be there, but I have a record with the radio broadcast of the mission to Ord Mantell. Although the story is a bit slow, the ending is very exciting with Luke having to cut the connecting cord from the platform and three-peo flying a shuttle. I got interested in it when Han mentioned it The Empire Strikes Back.

 

Hey Han That one looks great! I'd have to agree with everybody else and say Han's expression really sells the piece, though I really love how you rendered Chewie! He looks fantastic!

I also heard of the radio broadcast and a friend of mine actually had a kids book about the encounter on Ord Mandell, but I have no idea how or where to find either! Maybe Ebay, or someone around these forums has a copy.

Anyway, great pic and can't wait to see your updates!

 

I have seen the Ord Mantell recording before on eBay. I don't have it though. Try a Google search on it. I think it is only in vinyl LP though - it is quite old.
(I can check my Collecting books later to see if there was a cassette version).

 

Here ya go and it's in stock. Search on Ord Mantell! I haven't ordered from these guys but I have seen their ads.

 

Very nice, HS! I like the emotion in Han's face... that 'aw, Hell,' classic expression that is so Han.
