30th Anniversary Bespin Leia

There are a few reference pictures that I like to draw again every now and then to see how I’ve hopefully improved artistically. I’ve had this reference for several years and first officially tried to draw it in 1985. My last attempt at this reference was in 1993. I actually started this on 11/17/09 as a secondary drawing to work on while I was drawing Jody Davis. Hopefully this will be the first of a few more Empire Strikes Back drawings in 2010 since this is the 30th Anniversary of the movie. At least that is my plan anyway!
