Leia’s New Hope Senatorial Gown

The classic Leia look. I’ve drawn this countless times – and I’ve never really been all that happy with it. I personally find it hard to capture Carrie’s likeness especially in the bun hairstyle. Maybe I’ve just spent too much time over the years staring at her face while studying costumes and I overthink it LOL.

Anyway, this one went quick, used my own dress as a reference. May go back and revisit it in the future, since I changed the way I was doing the linework on these halfway through and I think this one would benefit from being done in the same way as the later ones.
