I will admit — I haven’t drawn as many STAR WARS characters as I wish I had. So I’m here to write some wrongs. In honour of SOLO: A STAR WARS MOVIE (I really dislike that title) coming out this week, let’s draw none other than Han’s old (literally) sidekick, our favourite Wookiee, CHEWBACCA!
This was a tough tutorial to figure out, because you can either draw Chewie really simple, with just a few lines representing his fur, or really detailed, with each strand of hair drawn to create his thick fur. I went for something that’s pretty detailed. But feel free to draw the fur as you wish!
Honestly, with this movie, I’m most looking forward to seeing how Han and Chewie meet. Are you looking forward to SOLO? Let me know in the comments!

CHARACTER BIO:
Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the forest planet of Kashyyk. Born 200 years before the Battle of Yavin. Chewbacca was the son of Attichitcuk. Growing up, Chewbacca was known for his sense of adventure, always exploring different parts of his homeworld, including the dangerous Shadowlands. One day, Chewbacca met his future wife Mallatobuck, but was unaware of the her feelings toward him. One day, a group of Trandoshan slavers came and tried to capture Mallatobuck, but Chewbacca came to her rescue. Slowly a relationship blossomed, until it was threatened by another Wookiee named, Tojjevvuk, an albino Wookie, who also had his sights on her.
Chewbacca was forced into an honor duel with Tojjevvuk for Malla’s hand, but Tojjevvuk brought dishonor on the duel by using his claws, forbidden for a Wookiee. The two later fought in the trees, and due to Chewbacca’s skills in navigating in the forest, he was able to sneak behind Tojjevvuk and kick him where he fell into the Shadowlands.
By the time The Clone Wars broke out, Chewbacca was a warrior during the clone wars for the battle of Kashyyyk. After order 66 Chewbacca was enslaved by the galactic empire and later freed by Han Solo.
