This new Step by Step instructional book written by Bonnie Burton and illustrated by Matt Busch and Tom Hodges will teach kids of all ages (and we mean all ages) how to draw your favorite characters, vehicles, droids, aliens, weapons and locations in the galaxy far, far away....
Basically the book is broken down into easy-to-read sections that cover everything you need to know about drawing STAR WARS from start to finish. There's step-by-step tutorials, trace overlays, foldout pages and stencils. Bonnie explains penciling, inking and coloring techniques professional comic book artists use, as well as handy tips on how to make your own comic book!
Illustrated by Star Wars artists Matt Busch and Tom Hodges, You Can Draw STAR WARS has something for all fans and art students alike. The book features tutorials on how to draw major characters including Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Padmé Amidala, Princess Leia, Yoda, C-3PO and R2-D2 -- just to name a few. Other more obscure droids, characters and creatures such as Gonk the Power Droid, Bib Fortuna, the Sarlacc, Watto and Tion Medon are also included.
For fans more interested in vehicles and starships, the book also offers tips on how to draw the Millennium Falcon, Slave I, X-wings, TIE fighters, Podracers and more. Various weapons from blasters to lightsabers are also highlighted. While the book focuses primarily on traditional drawing techniques, fans can also learn about Manga and other popular comic-book illustration styles.
Bonnie Burton has developed the Learn to Draw section on the Star Wars Kids section of StarWars.com, which Matt Busch and Tom Hodges have also provided art for. As well, Busch had written and illustrated How To Draw STAR WARS articles for STAR WARS Kids Magazine for years.
