Bespin Leia 12/28/17

Every year I try to draw at least 12 drawings.  This year I was set to exceed that until I stalled in August.  However, here's number 12.  I decided to do a quick sketch card after working so long on Amidala.  This is Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia from Empire Strikes Back.  I haven't drawn Carrie Fisher since 2015, so it was nice and a little sad to go back to my original muse after so much time.

 

Princess Leia belongs to Lucasfilm/Disney and not me.  The reference came a photo I purchased from Official Pix.  The original is lighter than the scan.
