Hello World! I've got a late update for the portrait of Han Solo and a slightly late update on the portrait of Kylo Ren.

Han Solo, once a general of the resistance and then a legend of smuggler. But he's most memorable for being the pilot of the Millennium Falcon. Space gunslinger.

Although, for me, I watched him as Indiana Jones before I even learned that he was also Han Solo. I really love the dynamic between Han Solo, Leia Organa nd Luke Skywalker.

Kylo Ren, a new character in the continuation of the legendary series that is Star Wars, was very intimidating when he first came on screen. How can you not be amazed and at the same time terrified of someone who can stop a laser blast in mid-air? I loved having gone into the movie guessing who Kylo Ren may be. After learning that he was related and part of the Skywalker and Solo legacies, I thought he became even more interesting.

Star Wars month is almost over with just one portrait left! I'm pretty sure that you guys would have a good guess who is next. Also, Han Solo marks my 20th portrait and his son, Ben breaks that 20 and is the 21st portrait.

Until next time, keep busy staying dizzy!

Leia Organa is one of the most iconic heroines. I grew up recognizing her hair style, but after more recently getting into the Star Wars series, I learned how much of a bad-ass she is. She is definitely not your typical princess. And another reason I regret not having grown up experiencing Star Wars. I think she would have fit right in with the rest of my role models growing up.

I enjoyed working on this portrait and it is so far the longest I have done (since starting pastel portraits for uploads). I enjoyed seeing where the portrait was going. I honestly did not have any ideas on how the final portrait was going to end up. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did in making it.

I'm really enjoying this Star Wars theme of portraits. Until next time, keep busy staying dizzy!
