In Return of the Jedi, Jabba the Hutt held Han Solo convict – frozen in carbonite, in his palace on the planet Tatooine. In one of the most memorable cinematic battles of all time – it was up to Luke, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 – to gratis him.

Here, let's tackle this slug-like alien from the Star Wars universe, in the class of a simple 'likeness-oriented' drawing lesson!

First Step – A Box and Two Triangles

His class can be simplified into three basic shapes – a square for the core function of his body, and two triangles – one for his head, the other to mark of his long – squirmy tail. Below, I've come up upward with a simple design to help keep that likeness to the original grapheme when drawing him.

Here's it is…

Draw a simple box framework for Jabba the Hutt

Add triangles to the framework to draw Jabba the Hutt

Addint arms and a tail tip to the Jabba the Hutt framework

Pretty straight forrard – and actually, he'south quite easy to draw due to the overall simplicity of his body.

That said – let'south keep on to the cartoon part!

Second Footstep – Describe Jabba the Hutt

OK – now for the fun part! Drawing a likeness to this character is all-time accomplished by beginning with the head/eyes surface area. Of course, this is much the aforementioned with any sentient cartoon drawing.

Pace by step, here's how the lesson unfolds…

Give Jabba the Hutt to circular eyes

And there he is… the Hutt himself- in the flesh – er – lines! Notice the simplest and subtle-most details (well-placed lines) that in one case added, really bring the character into view. That plus the coloring job, and you've got quite the groovy-looking likeness to the original graphic symbol.

So what now? Hmmm… how about sketching in a mini 'Salacious Nibble' sitting on the stop of his tail!

Congrats on a task well drawn. 🙂
