My BEST GUESS with “How Many Steps It Takes Chirrut to Get Ready In the Morning”
This is what I deduced from watching the movie multiple times and scouring the internet for information. Please don’t come attacking me if it’s wrong.
I had to figure out how his costume worked after I started drawing him and realized I didn’t know exactly what layered over what:
↑ Drawn BEFORE I started researching his costume in detail.
I really loved trying to figure out how his costume worked, sometimes watching the movie just focusing on how his right sleeve moved, wondering what “religious meaning” the outfit has, etc. 🙂 Also, I found a production still from a shot they didn’t use in the movie where Chirrut had his tarp(?) on his back draped over his left arm. Since Jedha is set to be a moon in a permanent winter, I’m guessing that’s an extra layer of warmth if he needs it. Again, these are only my best guesses.
Anyway, this was a great excuse to watch the film over and over again.
I have an absolute understanding and awareness of the image I project, and there’s just not a lot of roles for women who look like me. Here’s the thing: We’re in crisis mode as black actresses. Not only in the sheer number of roles that are offered and that are out there, but in the quality of roles. When you only have two or three categories for black actresses, therein lies the problem.
