Celebrating 40 years since of the release of 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)' with my collection of traditionally hand-drawn portraits of the main protagonists. 'Episode V' is not only my favourite film in the franchise. but also of-all-time! Any of you who follow my work closely will instantly recognise this is a BIG change to my usual methods, as I've exclusively posted digital artwork to this social platform, so I hope you can appreciate my traditional skills just as much. Each portrait took several hours (two - three days) to complete, drawn on A3 watercolour paper with alcohol-based markers, coloured pencils and small amounts of acrylic paint, I did however clean/straighten the white borders in Adobe Photoshop for their orderly presentation online, you see before you.
