Ever wanted to draw
Star Wars characters and vehicles just like the professional comic book artists? In this step-by-step series,
Star Wars artists and illustrators show you how to draw some of the most beloved characters in the saga, as well as new faces and creatures from
Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of the Sith (now available on DVD).
As one of the most dedicated Jedi Masters of the saga, Obi-Wan Kenobi has helped shape the fate of an entire galaxy. He was more like an older brother than just a mentor to his inherited Padawan learner Anakin Skywalker. However, in Revenge of the Sith, as Palpatine manipulated Skywalker towards the dark side, Kenobi found himself in a lightsaber duel that would alter the friendship between the two Jedi forever.
Star Wars illustrator Sarah Wilkinson explains with easy-to-follow steps on how to draw Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Steps 1-9 are to be drawn lightly with a pencil. No pen, no dark lines. Finished lines and details will come at the end.

Step Nine: This is an extra bonus if you want your drawing to look 3-D. Imagine there is a light shining on his face that is coming from an angle above him. Try it in the mirror or with a friend. The light makes shadows on the face that add depth and shape. The face rolls into shadow on the cheek and forehead, and the nose makes a sharp edge of shadow. |

Step Ten: Now you can add the finishing touches. When you are ready, darken your lines and add details: darken his eyes, add some tone to his robes, and make his beard hair thick. Feel free to get creative and use color. Good job, you've just drawn Obi-Wan! |
