Padme Amidala

Another drawing of Nat, 4th addition to the DIVAS collection. I drew this especially for my lovely friend (and an amazing portrait artist) *khinson(I hope you like it, Karen ) who happen to be a big fan of Nat and Starwars just like me..

I really love this promo shot of her and though I did know this pose has been done to death I still wanted to give it a go. Drawing this right after UNMASKED was like doing a back flip in shading styles and theme. This one is a lot lighter, more delicated, more defined and it's all about BEAUTY.

I'm quite happy with the hair(THIS is what I call strand by strand - took ages though ) and the details on her head accessories. Actually I got carried away with the details. I just want to see how far could I go if I wanted to do a portrait without a sketchy part just for once. I think I'm getting better as drawing girls. Heck..I'd even go as far as saying I seem to have a knack for it.

Full view please.

Pencil on A4 paper as usual. Please don't ask how long did it take as I seem to be incapable of doing a quick portrait these days.
