The Mantutorial: Part 1 - Armor

I asked and people seemed interested, so here's a breakdown of Din's armor!

Please note that not all of this is 100% screen accurate and comes mainly from my own experience drawing him and cosplay experience! So keep that in mind.

I tried to get multiple angles on the more complicated stuff, like the chest plate and the gauntlet, cause those are the ones I personally find most difficult! But other than that, I cannot recommend using 3D references enough! Specifically I use this model and this whenever I draw Din and used them a lot for this tutorial. You can spin him around right on the webpage so you don't need to download software or anything!

Other than that I really recommend just drawing him a lot, from lots of angles! That's the best way to get comfortable with drawing this funny tin guy.

Depending on the response, I might do another reference for the soft bits/extra armor/belts! Just lmk on here or in the tags if you're interested. Oh and also one for Boba or Paz!

And if this helped you, consider reblogging and even following if you wanna catch more as it arrives! :)

Hope this helps! And say thank you to stando for his help as a demonstration!

Orders vary but these are the types of customers they are. XD

Hunter

White hot chocolate

He swore off caffeine a long time ago

Something about heart palpitations

Wrecker

Iced coffee

Slurps it really loud and really fast

No one gives him shit for it tho

Tech

Cappuccino with honey

Stirs it really fast to make sure all the honey is distributed properly but destroys all the foam in the process

Maniacal and proud of it

Echo

An order so complex and specific only he knows what it is

All anyone knows for sure is that it comes out looking like a normal coffee anyway

Echo insists it isn’t

Crosshair

If he’s with others? Black coffee

If he’s by himself? Spiced chai latte with extra cream and vanilla
