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.
After spilling agricultural secrets to the Empire, Momaw Nadon -- otherwise known as Hammerhead -- moved from his home planet of Ithor to Tatooine where he can be seen enjoying a beverage in the Mos Eisley Cantina in A New Hope.
Star Wars illustrator Amy Pronovost explains with these easy-to-follow steps how to draw Hammerhead.
Steps 1-6 are to be drawn lightly with a pencil. No pen, no dark lines. Finished lines and details will come at the end.
Step One:
In the middle of your paper draw a long, vertical peanut shape. The peanut is slightly thicker at the bottom than at the top. Very close to the top of the peanut, draw an oval.
Step Two:
Not only is Hammerhead's head tall and skinny, but it's also very long! Lightly draw a circle which overlaps the peanut slightly. The top of the circle should be half way up the peanut. Give Hammerhead a little body by drawing an upside-down U that overlaps the circle and the peanut.
Step Three:
Lightly start to add some details to Hammerhead. Draw some circles for eyes. Following the shape of the peanut and then curving off to the right, draw the mouth. Also draw the bottom of his head by drawing a line slightly within the circle. Draw a table for Hammerhead to sit at by drawing a skinny oval.
Step Four:
Give Hammerhead an arm and a hand, and add a sleeve. The little circle on the table will become his other hand. Give his eyes a little glint!
Step Five:
Add some detail to the hands. Give hammerhead three sausage-like fingers on each hand and draw a knobby wrist. To cap it off, give Hammerhead a tasty glass of Juri juice to hold.
Step Six
Lightly draw a line down the middle of Hammerhead's face, following the contour of the peanut shape. Add five horizontal lines to give his face a bumpy texture. Also draw some lines in his mouth. As Hammerhead has a snazzy Tatooine shawl, start adding some details to the tie.
Step Seven
Polish off your Hammerhead with some more details to his clothing, and add a little shading. Go over only your most important lines with a darker pencil or a marker.
Step Eight
If you want you can add some color to Hammerhead with markers, pencil, crayons, paint or even on the computer! Now your hammerhead is ready to enjoy the mellow tunes of the Cantina band.
