BB-8 & Rey

No plot spoilers here, only that I hate how much they made me fall in love with BB-8. So adorable. And Rey? Well she’s just the best.

I got a light board for Christmas, so this was my first try at a new process. I sketched it up in photoshop, then printed it out. Using said light board, I inked the lines, used light grey markers to lay in some basic values, then scanned it back in and painted using multiply layers (mostly). There’s just something about physically drawn lines that is really hard to duplicate in digital, and the markers got me a really nice texture in the shadows. Definitely playing more with this process in the future!

Fun facts:

- I got the Huion LED light pad.

- I’ve seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens twice, with plans for a third.

- I have no issues with ewoks.
