I decided I needed some more Star Wars in my gallery here, so here's an older Luke, Han and Leia. As they might have looked in the New Jedi Order series, except not. Because I didn't like that series. (in fact the only SW novelisations I consider canon are the Brian Daley Han Solo books )
I painted this a couple of years ago as part of an assignment in my Illustration course. In the original painting, Luke does not have a beard but I've always thought he should have. So, feeling particularly anal tonight, I added it digitally and personally think he looks much better now!
Watercolour, pastel, gouache and coloured pencils on illustration board.
Wow this looks absolutely amazing. I always imagined Luke with a beard to possibly show how much of an influence Obi-Wan had on his life. So the fact that he has his father's dark colors but Obi-Wans looks, looks so much better than that of the New Jedi Order series.
