NATALIE PORTMAN as PADMÉ AMIDALA

I went to London in 2014 with my Sister and Nephew, to see my Auntie and Cousin, and I wanted to try and do a drawing for my massive STAR WARS nut of a cousin :) I spent ages trying to find a nice image to draw, and this one of Padmé Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, was my favourite.

However, due to the reference image having her full body and gun on display, it would mean I’d have to draw really small *gulp* I wasn’t used to drawing this small at the time, and her head was only about 2” tall; it was a totally different challenge to normal, but I really enjoyed it!

While in London we also went to MCM Comic Con, where I got to meet one of my Inspirational Artists DESTINYBLUE *yay!*
