Simplify!

..:: * ::.. *Original art by @jnart* ..:: :: :: * :: :: ::.. #jnarttutorial Unfortunately @tonyr will pause the awesome - Learn To Draw With A Friend. I love the concept and I'm a bit sad it will be some time until it's up and going again. You'll find the last one [here!](https://steemit.com/ltdwf/@tonyr/learn-to-draw-with-friends-week-eight-star-wars-sbd-prizes-to-be-won-ltdwf). I know my entry is probably not valid as it should be a pencil drawing. This happens to be a charcoal tutorial (I forgot to use the charcoal pencil you can see in the video ;), yet almost the same thing. Instead of pictures I posted a video to show the flow, and what is possible to do in a short period of time. Hope to inspire to charcoal stick which is similar to graphite pencil. And I almost forgot - Star Wars is probably the main game focus of my entire childhood! It's so cool :) Me and my brothers started playing different sorts of Star Wars games before we saw the movies. And one day after school when I was really young my dad took us to his job. We sat in a room in front of a TV and do you think we were ecstatic when he told us we were about to watch all the episodes 4-6 (those were the only produced)! We were so hooked! So here you go! --- Master Yoda Jedi Speed Drawing! --- ![DSC_0089w.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRCzmGTnQH7NTAVoUcjo5cDeyzdMb8wNfQznS8GoPkDTS/DSC_0089w.jpg) ### How To --- I love this kind of practice. Normal speed I did the portrait in 27 minutes, this is 4x normal speed. First minute (of the movie) I establish the proportions. Needs lots of practice to do this correct and fast. Minute 1-4 is establishing the darker tones. I squint my eye to see where they are really clearly. Minute 4-5 is putting down background values. Important to think about hard and soft edge - see my other post [here.](https://steemit.com/art/@jnart/reaistic-edges-drawing-challenge-3-fruit-still-life-jnarttutorial) Last two minutes I erase back some white in the hair and correct the values or proportions a little bit. As you can see I simplified a lot in the shirt and changed some in the background - my artistic choice. *The time-lapse is made in 4x speed.* --- Ask anything about the process and I will answer! https://youtu.be/i9Uxf0gkk44 Steem ON! --- [**And see my complete Game of Thrones fanart here!**](https://steemit.com/art/@jnart/kings-and-queens-game-of-thrones-fanart-spoiler-alert-trialbycomics) ..:: :: :: * :: :: ::.. https://steemitimages.com/DQmNYTNmwkj7VUzkuZ7eMctr71wmgC158stFZaWwMtfc3pr/Image00002s.jpg ___
