My 11 year old son has been drawing Star Wars vehicles almost daily since "The Force Awakens" came out. He's been doing it all off of the top of his head, so he has been getting some of the details wrong. We got him this book and he loves it. During indoor recess at school he and his friends pass the book around and all enjoy it. They are not having trouble with the Millennium Falcon or AT-AT Walker any more. I really think the transparent pages are much better than the stencils that other kids drawing books have.

My 9 year old son LOVES star wars and is currently in a 'drawing phase' and got this book, a sketch pad, and some charcoals for Christmas and he's loving the book. I think he's doing great on drawing the pictures out of the book. As a matter of fact, this gift was so perfect for him that he got one from me and one from his dad lol. I think this book is targeted for older children and is a little more difficult than his other 'how to draw' books but it's a good challenge!

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality book with lots of information

I purchased this book for my nephew because he loves to draw and is a Star Wars fan. I was amazed at the quality!

Spiral bound, hardcover, with transparent flyleaf pages for many of the illustrations, this is way more than I expected for my $14.

Our nephew loves the book, and really enjoyed showing me some drawings he's made using the suggestions in the book. Our other two nephews who don't draw also really liked reading it just for the 'insider' Star Wars info.

A great find!

4.0 out of 5 stars You can draw yes! But some work is involved.

I have taught drawing classes at our public libraries in my city. Some of the topics were Star Wars related. Although this book has a wealth of information and the artists are really first rate it is my experience that pre-teens and young teens may have a tough go of some of the practices and trying to imitate the artists of the book. It is somewhat of a drawing crash course and I have found trying to tell students "practice and most of all have fun" does not really communicate the time it takes to make a polished drawing as shown in the book. I am not saying it is bad but it is also not a step by step book exactly. Case in point: Jabba The Hutt. The book shows a build up from basic, to middle, to detailed stage. I have found students will have a lot of problems with the middle phase because they look so great in the book. The break down into smaller steps is needed. Since the publisher is aiming this at kids I think parents and teachers should be aware that yes it will teach them to draw Star Wars but it may be more work involved than a standard drawing-for-kids book would be like. I recommend the book but be prepared it is not exactly easy. I also would warn parents and teachers that the spiral bound pages are easy to get snagged and tare. A little extra care is needed in turning the pages but this also allows the book to stand up with the hardback binding and it also allows the pages to lie completely flat. Well worth the asking price for any Star Wars fan young or old.

This book is like no other, it goes from pencil drawings, to shading, to the all out picture if your artist is ready for that. It is for any level, and takes them step by step, until they have gone as far as they want. The older they get the more sophisticated the picture, and they tell you how to do it, and beautiful pictures to go along. Wonderful book for the up and going artist.

I was very disappointed in this purchase. I purchased two. They both arrived on time. I knew they were used but no soooooo used. The one had a torn cover and missing pages. (This was the more expensive one). The other had scribbling over most of the pages. I should have had them sent to me so I could have returned them, however; I had them sent to grandsons. When I suggested they be returned both boys were very disappointed. I will not purchase from this vendor again.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2010

Great material however, it is published with intention to attract young audience. The instruction is more for experienced artists as there is few steps on each drawing- missing the steps for detail and texture, which may make it difficult for beginner to produce "matching" appearance to the final picture in the book. This is the book I would recommend to experienced artist, never mind the "children book" look. Instruction inside is more for adult and advanced artist.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be called "You WISH you can draw Star Wars"
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2008

I have zero art skills, read some of the reviews, and decided to order this book hoping I could learn how to draw Star Wars. If that describes you, you should skip this book or you will be frustrated as I was. This book is well illustrated but unfortunately it goes from drawing stick figures to completed drawings in one to two pages. I found myself clueless as to how to get past the stick figures since the intermediate steps are not covered in this book.

This book covers too many subjects over its meager 95 pages. I would have preferred to have 95 pages of how to draw one Han Solo, for example, instead of the two pages that he gets in this book. It is beautifully illustrated, that's the only reason I give it three stars. It would be great for any Star Wars fan but don't be disappointed if you can't draw anything.

Gave this as Christmas gift for nephew who's about to turn 9. Star Wars is one of the hundreds of things he's into and this got definite approval. What I liked was Star Wars is just the subject for the learning. Starting with how to grip the drawing implement correctly through to getting the right body proportion and ratios of character's, the skills learned can be applied to any other subject matter. An educational toy by stealth.

Ich muß zugeben, zuerst war ich etwas skeptisch. Aber dann sah ich die Videos auf starwars.com und langsam juckte es mich immer mehr in den Fingern.
Was man hier bekommt, ist eine solide Einweisung in die verschiedenen Techniken, die Schritt für Schritt die eigenen Fertigkeiten verbessert. Die Autoren gehen nicht nur auf Licht und Schatten, sondern auch auf anatomische Hintergründe, wie Muskelgruppen und Skelettstruktur ein.
Übrigens war ich letzten Endes positiv überrascht, das das "Hardcover" im Endeffekt doch eine Spiralbindung hat und so mühelos offen bleibt. So kann man nebenher immer leicht spicken.
