How To Draw Star Wars

Drawing Star Wars characters is a lucrative skill, and anyone can do it with a little work, imagination, and dedication. It may seem like a daunting task, but once you break it down into simple steps and find some inspiration, you’ll feel like a pro. Here’s how to draw Star Wars characters.
Section 1: Find Inspiration
The best way to draw a great Star Wars character is to find a photo of a character that closely resembles what you want to draw. You can use either a movie poster or an official artwork that you can find online. When you look at the photo, try to envision it as pencil strokes. Imagine pulling out the shapes and committing them to paper. This can be a great reference when it comes to making awesome drawings.
Section 2: Start With the Basic Outlines
Once you have your image chosen start to draw the basic outlines. Start by drawing the general shape of the body, followed by the eyes and finally the hair. Be sure to take your time and draw your lines as delicately as possible. This also allows you to change a line or a curve if something doesn’t look right. If you’re using a movie poster, your lines might be a little less precise than an official artwork.
Section 3: Develop the Details
Once you have created the basic outline of your drawing, it’s time to start adding the details. Start by adding the eyes and hair. Make sure that each detail is placed precisely and draw them with confidence. After this, take your time and carefully develop the details of each body part until you’re satisfied with the result.
Section 4: Add Color
Once your Star Wars character is finished, it’s time to add color. You can use colored pencils, markers, watercolors or even crayons if you’d like. Use bold colors to create the vibrant, iconic look of Star Wars characters, or you can go for a more muted, earthy palette. Pay attention to any details that you’d like to emphasize as you add color.
Section 5: Finish It Off
Lastly, you’ll need to finish off your drawing with a signature. This is especially important for any official Star Wars masterpieces that you might make. It will add a personal touch and make your artwork look more professional. You can sign your artwork with your name, initials, or just a simple “SW” (for Star Wars).
