We’ve got an absolutely stunning Fanart of the Week for you today! The moment I saw it I knew I wanted to share it with. This particular one is a pastel drawing of Padme Amidala by Dizzy Dezi:

Isn’t it amazing? Not only does it capture Portman really well but I also feel like the drawing capture’s Padme’s character really well.Dizzy Desi also wrote:

I think Queen Amidala’s costumes were my favorite and most memorable part of the prequels for the Star Wars stories.  I remember my mom buying me a Padme Amidala doll where you can switch her face to her painted “Queen” face and her normal face.  

You can also find her on Twitter! And what I also love is that there’s a Youtube video of the painting being made, which is a great look into how art is made!
