Painting young Ursa Wren

I’m currently in the process of painting Ursa Wren. Great thing is: We got a lot of good reference material for all characters in the Clone Wars, since showrunner Dave Filoni is a fan of cosplay and gladly had a lot of final concept renders and the like ‘leaked’ throughout the run of the show. There are also a lot of good screenshots.

One of the most difficult aspects of painting Mandalorians are the painted emblems and icons on their armour – especially on the helmets of leaders. In the case of Ursa Wren, it’s the iconic Night Owls-scheme on her helmet, which is later also used by her daughter Sabine Wren in REBELS.

When freehanding such elements, I always start by carefully painting them on in two layers of dilluted white:

This helps me to get strong colours without having to layer on a several coats. Thanks to the white base, I can now simply put on a filter using a very dilluted bright colour.You can see the result in the images below, which also showcase the progress with painting the mini so far. I plan on finishing painting Ursa Wren in the next two days.
