Drawing those pesky Tusken Raiders

SolosGirl1 — Aug 19, 2006 09:52 AM

Issue 89 of Star Wars Insider is helping to keep those pencils madly scribbling with its new feature, the Padawan Corner. Follow along with me as I demonstrate how to draw a Tusken Raider. Thanks to Bonnie Burton for asking me to contribute! In the

Sketch Card Madness

SolosGirl1 — Mar 01, 2006 12:56 PM

After working on 2 sets of Star Wars sketch cards for Topps, I found myself scribbling away on 350 sketch cards for Topps' latest release, Lord of the Rings: Evolution.

Drawing Greedo

I just love teaching kids how to draw...one of the reasons I had such fun putting together this easy step-by-step lesson. So kids, grab some paper and a pencil and learn how to draw Greedo! When you're done, be sure to send your masterpiece to Bantha

I can see it again!

Woohoo! Just when I thought that Ep III was no longer in theaters, I discover just how wrong I am! Last Friday night I went to see Batman Begins (again) at a new theater in downtown Chicago. To my surprise, I notice that theater 6 (I think it was), was

Drawing 101 In A Galaxy Far Away

SolosGirl1 — Aug 01, 2005 09:56 AM

In Episode II, Padmé mentioned to Anakin that her previous boyfriend went on to become an artist. Assuming that he went to art school, I have to wonder what kind of stil-life objects he sketched in Drawing 101. Instead of vases, human skulls and fruit,

I'll never know what it felt like to fire off a few good shots at some slow-moving Storm Troopers, but a girl can dream...

Hey, I'm featured!

SolosGirl1 — Jul 21, 2005 07:32 PM

Who the heck does this blog belong to? Well, I'm Cynthia Cummens, one of those goofy (in a good way!) Star Wars artists. You might have seen some of the kids tutorials I drew for the sw.com, or maybe you've collected some of those sketch cards I did for

Saw It Again...and again....and again....

SolosGirl1 — Jun 16, 2005 07:18 AM

Yesterday I saw Revenge of the Sith for the third time (only the third time - hey, I've been busy drawing, drawing, drawing!). All I can say is it gets better with every viewing!

What's not to like about sand?

SolosGirl1 — May 25, 2005 02:42 PM

Earlier today I took a jog along the beach and as I stopped to dip my toes in the cool water, I thought about Anakin and his total dislike for sand. Of course, it's understandable given most of his childhood was spent on a harsh, hot, dry desert planet.

Ani and Obi Wan, no Han and Luke, but close.

SolosGirl1 — May 24, 2005 09:35 AM

Even as I watch the OT for the gazillionth time, I pause to reflect on Han and Luke. Well, I hit the pause button to admire Han and Luke. After all, it's more than a girls heart can take to watch Han Solo evolve from rugged smuggler into ...well, rugged

The things you do when you're a kid fascinated by Wookies and X-Wings

SolosGirl1 — May 21, 2005 10:40 AM

I'm not the only one with memories of a childhood filled with Star Wars moments and after seeing Episode III again last night, I can't help but reminisce. I remember when...

What I Learned from Yoda, age 10.

Ahhh...it was glorious!

Hi gang - this amounts to what is basically my first ever blog entry! I'm recalling a quote, something about just having taken my first steps into a larger world....So here it is, my first blog!
