One of my fave #starwars fanarts I ever made. Disaster siblings 💙

#fanart #starwarsfanart #anakinskywalker #obiwankenobi #ahsokatano #clonewars #anakin #ahsoka
Ahsoka taking a selfie of herself, Anakin and Obi. She and Ani are doing a fist bump, while Obi just stares half resigned, with a smile. Happy times. Sort of sepia colours and cyan light.

Two trees penciled in an open sketchbook. They have very different shapes and sizes, one being old with bigg branches, the other with thin twisting ones.
