 Art tips and techniques, reviews and interviews from my studio. Archived here and at World Famous Comics. Comics 101 for 08/07/2003 Chewbacca Memorial Painting: Week Five - At last we'll reveal ourselves to the editor. At last we'll have our final. This week I'm be appearing at Wizard World in Chicago, IL August 8th-10th. I'm also busy with my new Moonstone Books comic book project currently so I'll be re-running an archived feature from Comics 101. If you are heading to Wizard World Chicago be sure to find me in Artist Alley where I'll be signing and selling my original Star Wars artwork and drawing sketches for fans. New articles for this column will return later this month so in the meantime enjoy this look back at this previous Comics 101 feature! Moving along to the last few areas of the painting, I begin painting in Boba Fett and the Falcon. Obviously, I'm using smaller brushes here for these smaller characters and I'm also keeping my color pencils very sharp to allow for tighter detail with the finishing touches (Example H).  Example H Finally, I knock out the light motifs in the background with my airbrush and with a quick pass of light blue paint to give the engines of the Falcon a 'cool' glow, the painting is now complete (Example I).  Example I It's not wise to upset a Wookiee. It takes a few weeks of working off and on this painting to complete it since I was also working on art for Star Trek and White Wolf Publishing at the time. Since I freelance full time, I often find myself working on overlapping projects. While I am waiting for some new sketches or finals to be approved, I can begin working on completing the final technique for another assignment. I scan the final painting into my Macintosh G3 computer using Photoshop and email it as a high-res 300 d.p.i Tiff file to my editor who then takes it to the printer for the final cover design. I feel like if I have not only pleased my editor, but also the Star Wars fans who read his fanzine, I have only then completed the task that was set before me originally. Since I'm usually a fan first and foremost of the kind of projects I choose to work on, then I'm my own toughest critic and I usually know when I've did the job right. I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look of the creation of my Star Wars painting and if you have any comments or questions just drop me a line at joe@joecorroney.com. You can look forward to more step by step tutorials of my Star Wars art in Comics 101 very soon. Remember, keep your distance... but don't look like you're keeping your distance! And fly casual! -Joe Recent Columns:
