2 out of 5 stars Not as good as the Youtube videos   June 14, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

The quality of the Youtube videos surpasses the quality of the book; expectations for the book after watching the videos weren't met. Ideas for future additions might include expanding on Mr. Bush's acrylic painting techniques (future book, perhaps:>); you may enjoy the rudimentary instruction, but in my opinion it didn't align with the superior instruction given during the videos.

5 out of 5 stars High quality book with lots of information   May 21, 2008

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!



2 out of 5 stars Tough for kids...   April 27, 2008

I bought this for my son's eight year old birthday because he loves the How to Draw books. This one is the hardest I have ever seen. It's is aimed at a teenager in terms of drawing ability.


3 out of 5 stars Should be called "You WISH you can draw Star Wars"   February 17, 2008
  1 out of 3 found this review helpful

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.
