May 21, 2010 marks the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, the second Star Wars film (and for me, the greatest film of all time). In celebration, I’m doing one drawing from Empire each day for the entire month of May 2010.
That’s the only main rule, but other guidelines I have including drawing each one on the day it’s posted.
I’m doing them somewhat chronologically, so I’ve started with Hoth and will end on the medical frigate. I promise you there will be bounty hunters in between! I have a very rough outline of characters and scenes I’d like to include, but it changes day-to-day. I hope you enjoy the ride!

One of the coolest moments of the entire Star Wars saga is captured in my drawing for today – Darth Vader’s surprise appearance on Cloud City. I think we were all shocked when Lando opened the dining room door! The … Continue reading
