Darth Maul Fan Art | Cherrysheriff

Be the first to love this poster

I like to pose for my character studies myself and use the photos as reference – I believe it allows an artist to say something about the character via the pose itself. Someone standing in a confident, brave pose will instill a notion of heroism in the viewer, whereas a character hunched over, turning to look at the viewer may achieve the opposite effect. I’ve always loved Iain McCaig’s design for Darth Maul and wanted to draw him in a pose that would express his athleticism, power and rage. To do this, I researched the martial art Wushu, which I believe is the martial art that was used by the actor portraying this character (Ray Park) and found some footage of a monk performing a leaping move with a bo staff. I took this pose as reference and used it to draw Maul in full flow.
