Darth Maul Adobe Illustrator
 

OK, so after seeing Dobster's drawings of people, I thought I'd post one of my own. I'm trying to get the hang of the gradient mesh tool, (face and lightsaber glow) and I think it has given me the look I'm going for. I am far from mastering it, but definately a step in the right direction...

Here is the whole drawing

Here's a closeup of the face.

It starts to look a little flat the closer you zoom in, but it's a start. It was drawn using a photo I found on the web, so if it looks fimaliar, that's why...

that's a heck of a "start" !

i'd say you're just about there.

good stuff.

Nice work...send more. :)

They're really good, Mister Coaster. What is your source material, if you have any?

dobster: I did a Google search for darth maul and found this image...

less gray more black.

Its very nice but you have cut some of hes jaws away but maybe its because its so hard to see in the source picture...

wanker & Dizzet, thanks for the suggestions. I did these in my "spare time" at work, and the monitor I have there sucks donkey balls. I can see the color differences better now and will make those adjustments. Thanks!

All hail the Mesh Tool!

It looks pretty damn good MisterCoaster - it must've taken you hours to make :crazy:

You got too much free time :D

They look really good! I'm really impressed that you took into account that the top of maul's head is pinkish colour

Nancy & feelgood, actually that only took me about 2 hours. There wasn't really a whole lot to draw there. The variations on the mesh gradient were the bulk of the time. Actually, drawing out paths doesn't take me that long, and there aren't that many on this drawing. At least not compared to some of the things I have done.

Here is another quickie I did...
