Description
Ever since I saw the miniature portraits by `Cataclysm-X , I've been meaning to try it out for myself. And I finally did!Of course I had to pick Han.
He's still the easiest to draw.The drawing is about 2 x 3 cm. I don't have any really thin mechanical pencils, only a 0.5 HB, so I used mostly my wooden ones. You can see one of them in the picture. It involved a lot of sharpening!
I hope you like it!

You should - it's painstaking work but very rewarding when you manage it

Ah, mini-Han ^^ Love it

It'd probably be harder with anyone other than Han. I've just drawn him SO often I almost know his features by heart.

Ah, time for my best Vader impression:
Ahem.
*breathing* Impressive. Most impressive.
See? I almost sounded completely like him.

It was an approving Vader, so it's not too bad.
I could have went with "`Cataclysm-X has taught you well", too. Vader said so many lovely things, no?

Haha yes, he's very quotable.

That's great! Lovely idea, and beautifully drawn.

Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea, but I'm glad you like it!

Do you ever consider attending comic book conventions & sell your work. You do really good work.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'd LOVE to do that! Unfortunately, there aren't any close to where I live. Ireland is pretty low on conventions in general. But I'm glad you like my work, thanks very much!

Oh. What about festivals or the like? Do you have trusted family/friends in places where they could help you market your work? Just saying.

Well, my mother's doing a bit of that around my area. But you're right, I might look into that. It's worth a try, anyway! Cheers!

This is insane! I TRY drawing this on good ol' A4 and... well... the results ain't pretty.
Basically...

Well, looking at your profile, I have about ten years on you, so don't worry. Keep practicing. I guarantee you that I couldn't have done this even three or four years ago. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ahhh, my profile... that thing... Well I haven't uploaded anything good in a while, scanner issues.
But you're welcome! Practice makes perfect! And there is NO day I don't draw these days... at all, heck I even draw in the air with my finger when I'm thinking.

this is really awesome because of the size (not easy to draw it like this)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It definitely isn't! A fun challenge, though. Thanks very much!

This is awesome 
It's tiny so a high-five from me for the details and shading
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it.

Nice work! That is a tiny drawing, so props for the details and shading!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you very much! It's oddly fun to draw at that scale.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Yeah, it was hard to keep the pencils sharp enough!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
i'd imagine, i have that prob on regular size drawings so this musta been a real pain
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It was okay, actually. I mean, it's tiny, so it didn't take that long to finish.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
that's a lot better than your last small drawing of him. I really like it! There's always some room for improvement, but at the moment with my art level I can't see any.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha, that's odd considering it's about... well, not even a quarter of the size. *lol* But I'm glad you like it, thank you very much!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Lolz. Yeah, i'd find it disappointing, too. XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
This is nรณt something I would enjoy. Waaaay too small a space to work on, lol! So you have my admiration for this cool miniature for sure!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I just wanted to try it out. It's surprisingly fun, though! And of course you get to finish a drawing really quickly. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Oh geez, I don't know how you all do it! Teeny tiny
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Heh, I think for the next time I'll wait until I have some 0.3 mm pencils, and a magnifying glass. *lol* Thank you very much!

Yep, it's a good way to challenge yourself! Thank you

Amazing work. I just did something similar with oil paint on a 5x7 cm canvas. But with two persons on it. Had to use my smallest brushes for it. It's really hard work. Very well done.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you! Yeah, it's difficult to work on such a tiny scale, isn't it? I can't imagine trying it with paint. I have a hard enough time with that as it is!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The person I made it for (as a birthday present) really liked it. So, yeah mission accomplished ^^
Oh and also it was my first painted portrait
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
That's good news!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Definetly it is! And I agree, this one really was a tough challenge. Actually I think it was my first serious portrait of real existing persons ever. And one of them was myself; the other one was my friend. I wasn't sure about it until it was finished. But now I'm happy that I made it!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Cool! Do you have it uploaded somewhere so I can have a look?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Personally I would love to show it around but I'm not sure if my friend want's to be shown on the internet, even if it's just a painted version. So it's nowhere online. The only place where you can find it is her desk in her room where it stands now, I guess.

Ahh I see. Oh well. I can understand that!
