Drawing Porkins

As we all know Lieutenant Porkins, otherwise known as the Rebel starfighter pilot Red Six, found himself useful during the Battle of Yavin, but unfortunately had a mechanical malfunction on his X-wing fighter, which led to a crash after being hit by Imperial forces.

I always felt kinda bad for the guy. He wasn't exactly a chick magnet and he never got to be the hero. So I thought he deserved some props... at least on the Kids section on starwars.com.

Star Wars illustrator Randy Martinez explains with these easy-to-follow steps on how to draw a funny caricature portrait of good, old Jek Porkins complete with a lobster bib and an Apple Mac computer sticker on his helmet.

Oh, and don't forget the Batman logo on the oppisite side of his helmet! I always felt kinda bad for the guy. Me too... That's why this is so great! A nice homage to the character.
