Step 1
|
|
Draw a roughly diamond shaped blob very lightly in the middle of your paper. This is the basic shape of Jar Jar's head.
|
|
Step 2
|
|
Erase the bottom of the diamond blob and draw a warped U
shape for Jar Jar's nose. Add two little lines at the end of this
U for his cheeks. Draw a line down the middle of the face
and a little bump at the tip of his nose. This makes Jar Jar
look a little more 3D
|
|
Step 3
|
|
Add two upside down 'U's on the top of Jar Jar's head for
his eye stalks. Add a small curve under his nose to make the
bottom of his mouth.
|
|
Step 4
|
|
Erase part of the diamond blob underneath Jar Jar's eyestalks
and give him some eyes. This is where we add Jar Jar's
Nostrils, they are placed on either side of the up and down
line in the centre of his head.
|
|
Step 5
|
|
Let's give Jar Jar a neck! Draw two slightly curved lines
from Jar Jar's nose like in the picture to the left. Also add
two little bumps on the outside of Jar Jar's eyestalks near
the top.
|
|
Step 6
|
|
What's a gungan without his floppy ears? Add two lines
from the bottom of his eyestalks that curve outwards to
form the outside shape of Jar Jar's ears. Add a little bit of
shading on his nose and a line in the middle of his neck.
|
|
Step 7
|
|
We're almost there! Add two more curved lines at about
the same angle as the first one. The one closest to the
first line is the inside of Jar Jar's ear ridge, the second
one is for the floppy look.
|
|
Step 8
|
|
Add some detail to Jar Jar's ears and voila! Our Jar Jar
is now complete!
Now you can colour Jar Jar or draw a body.. to draw
the body, look at your Jar Jar action figure or a picture
of Jar Jar and follow the tips below!

|
Drawing Tips:
|
|
Everything can be drawn with shapes and lines. If you're going to give Jar Jar a body, look at your action figure or picture of Jar Jar carefully and lightly draw the shapes that make up his body, kind of like we did with the diamond blob in the beginning. Practice drawing your pet, your parent's car, a pop can, anything! They can all be drawn with shapes!
To get the dark lines like I have here, draw lightly with a pencil and then go over the main lines with a black felt pen or a thin tipped black marker. Wait for the black ink to dry and then carefully erase your pencil lines.
 This Jar Jar was coloured using a program called Adobe
Photoshop. It's a very complex and expensive program
and can be kind of hard to use. If you want to play
around with some computer colouring, download a cool
program called Paintshop pro. This link will take you to their homepage but make sure it's okay to install it before
downloading.
Don't worry if you have to look at a photo or a toy to draw something
properly. This is called using reference and many, many artists do this. So long as you don't trace the picture you'll be among the best! If you use reference, experiment a little bit by changing where the hands are, the facial expression or whatever you like to add your own little touch.
Have Fun!
If you're looking for more Star Wars characters to draw, then I suggest Star Wars Kids magazine. I do some work for them, and it really is a good magazine for Kids and kids at heart, and it's more than just Star Wars too. If you want to get it, tell your parents you can get it at shop.starwars.com or if you're an adult, you can go there and check it out.
