Draw Obi-Wan Kenobi Undercover

Ever wanted to draw Star Wars characters and vehicles just like the professional comic book artists? Star Wars illustrator Grant Gould explains with these easy-to-follow steps how to draw Undercover Obi-Wan. Steps 1-5 are drawn lightly with pencil. No pen, no dark lines. Finished lines and details will come at the end.

YOU WILL NEED:

Paper
Drawing pencil
Colored pencils
Colored pens

STEP ONE

Drawing lightly with a pencil, create a simple framework using basic shapes like circles, lines and triangles.

STEP TWO

Create a rough outline that shows the placement of his legs, arms and guns. You can also add two mirrored triangle shapes where his eyes and mouth would be.

STEP THREE

Let’s flesh out his weapons first. Start with basic shapes and then add in details when you’re ready.

STEP FOUR

Now you can focus on his helmet. Draw the visor first and then add the three circles near his mouth area, then move on to the remaining details.

STEP FIVE

It’s time to create his outfit and equipment, and don’t forget about the hands.

STEP SIX

At this point, you should have a fairly detailed pencil drawing. Once you’re happy with your masterpiece, you can go over your lines with pen or marker, or heavier pencil lines.
