This last weekend I had a table at Austin Comic Con (Wizard World.) Sitting in one spot over three days, things happen. The following posts are a brief visual journal of my time.
Surrounded by comic book characters, it was time to try my hand at one I'd never drawn. (I haven't drawn many.)
I dig Chewbacca, but I'd never drawn him. Today I decided I would.

The finished Chewbacca.
But I started with this earlier in the day, a quick warm-up sketch--with worse rendition of his crossbow evs. "I believe I will revisit this subject," I said.

And later, on the way to final, without reference. (Just playing with how the pieces go together.)
Here's the final and the original drawing. (Done for a draw blog I sometimes contribute to.) It lost something in the final that was in the original (where he was gonna have on a cowboy hat, but then you miss the detail of the horns).
