I had gotten an airbrush as a H.S. graduation present and one of my first projects was this Yoda portrait which was a learning experience. It was created by spraying the paint on the illustration board that had been masked with a frisket shape of Yoda. Each section of shading had to have it's own frisket mask. It was so time intensive that in order to make the deadline for the illustration, I decided to do the body as a pencil drawing. And you can see the difference in material between the top of his head and the bottom half. On top I used gouache and on the bottom half of the face I used ink.
Thirty years later, I had abandoned the airburst for color pencil (now one of my favorite art mediums). In that illustration, I depicted Yoda on his native planet Dehgobah standing near his swamp hut.

No, over a decade later, I am experimenting with AI augmentation and generation as I revisit my 1981 Yoda portrait using FOTOR app AI enhancement and Adobe Photoshop AI generation tools to help add color and background.
