I have a few sketch card projects upcoming, and I came to the realization that I hadn't done any all pencil pieces in quite sometime. When I do large quantities of sketch cards I usually do the bulk of them in this style due to time constraints. So, in order to warm up a bit I sketched these up to sell on the bay. The Padme was a recreation of sorts of a Galaxy 4 card I did (although it surpasses its predecessor imho). Which is a good thing because I'm always looking to improve my technique. I feel like I am finally getting comfortable with photo-realistic art, not yet satisfied but comfortable. I think if an artist is ever too satisfied with his or her work they can become stale. OK, enough of this diatribe, I'm starting to sound like Barry Windsor-Smith. It's late.. forgive me.
