Here’s what I put together for how to draw Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. I picked the version where he’s standing ready with a lightsaber, mid-battle stance. The main thing to watch out for is the balance between his loose Jedi robes and the strong structure of his posture. It’s a mix of wide sleeves and solid foot placement.
What to Focus on When Drawing Anakin Skywalker
- Wavy mid-length hair.
- Serious facial expression with furrowed eyebrows and set mouth.
- Jedi tunic with a loose upper section and tighter lower waist area held by a belt.
- Arms positioned for a two-handed grip on the lightsaber.
- Long pants tucked into strapped boots.
- Lightsaber held upward, ready for combat.
- Feet spread wide for a grounded, stable stance.
After finishing Anakin, you might want to try Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, or Darth Vader next.
How the Drawing Steps Are Set Up
I kept the color-coding simple so it’s easy to keep track of each part:
- Red Color: the lines you should draw in the current step
- Black Color: the completed lines from previous steps
- Grey Color: the rough layout sketch to build up the structure
It starts with the basic stick figure and body shape to get the balance right, then moves into refining his face, the clothes, boots, belt, and lightsaber. The folds in the sleeves and pants are simple but have to stay consistent with the flow of the stance.
