Old drawing - Oola

An oooooooold drawing from 2004: Back then, I still only drew small soldiers in battles where the word perspective was unknown, when I began to try to draw larger characters.

One of my first approaches to this, was to try to use as references images from the drawings I had easier access: The revista Condorito.

Condorito is a comedy comic –done by Pepo-, so the characters are cartoon: Not the wisest idea then to try to learn to draw some “close up” characters from cartoons, rather than some more realistic proportions!

Anyway: While Condorito is a “familiar comedy” comic, with white, innocent humor following the stories of the titular character –an Anthropomorphic Condor- and his friends in the fictional Chilean city of Pelotillehue -60 km from Cumpeo, and 90 km form Santiago for further references!- The autor –who signed with the pseudonym of Pepo- in his young years as well illustrated some comical adult magazines: And this was still patent in his way of drawing the extremely curvaceous women of Condorito.

This drawing –done around the 2004, if not before- was done inspired by one of these cartoon women of Condorito: but to complicate things further, as in my developmental stages of drawing I was only capable in the moment replicating –badly- Condorito-style women, I tried to draw in such styles characters of other series and so I saw as… the teen I was back then?

But as I stumbled into this old drawing, I decided to ink it –following the original lines-, and then I coloured on Photoshop, trying to use the some colours of the magazine.

Around that time as well, is that I saw for the first time the old movies of Star Wars -if not one or two years before... I think we bought the whole movies -in VHS- collection from when "The Attack of the Clones" came in VHS... VHS.... how retro. XD-

I really loved Oola, the twi'lek dancer from the Return of the Jedi, so back then, I tried to draw her!
