This likeness turned out a little better for Mr Vader I think. though I still see lots of room for improvement. Whats weird is that I thought I lost this one several times because I over-inked the thing, but was somehow able to bring it back in the painting process. Its funny how that works. I almost never scrap drawings now, because I know if I’m patient with them, eventually they’ll come out alright.
I’m going to try a few more portraits if I have time outside my freelance work. After a handful of those, I might try for an actual “Star Wars” style illustration, the way Drew Struzen makes it look so effortless. Till then, I’m having fun practicing.

Not bad. Darth Vader is a B to draw!
One suggestion. I would make his lightsaber reach off the page. It seems a little short… unless he’s in the process of igniting it:) In that case, nevermind:)
I’ll keep trying. One of these days I’ll get it. Thanks for the feedback Nate!
