Description
And the sketch card fun continues. This is my first finished drawing of Darth Vader. I can't believe it's taken me this long to draw him. If my memory serves me right, he is sort of a central character in Star Wars, right?
"Star Wars" and all names and the distinctive likeness(es) thereof are Trademarks of Lucasfilm LTD
Time and materials:
4 hours, 45 minutes
2.5 x 3.5 Bristol trading card paper
Derwent pencils H to 4B
2H Kimberly pencil
2B and HB mechanical pencil
kneaded eraser
blending stumps
kleenex

I'm glad you think the shine is perfect! For me it was a matter of getting the dark part really dark and keeping the light part light. I hope that makes sense!

firstly; holy piss i'm jealous. That is amazing, it looks like a photo.
secondly; that is an awesome idea, draw your own trading cards, do they sell that paper most craft stores?

Thank you! I'm happy you like it! These are so fun to do, but they are rough on the eyes!

For the "hard-on-the-eyes" size, you might consider trying what does: a lighted magnifier (kind of like the ones folks use for tying tiny fishing flies)--he uses it on full-size portraits, but I could see it being a God-send for teeny little sketch cards! Look around and see if you can locate one--it might really be helpful! And again--fabulous work!
