Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars Book Review and Giveaway (Closed)

StarWarsCloneWars

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…books like this didn’t exist. However, now kids can tap into the world of art and drawing with this slick little book titled “Draw Star Wars The Clone Wars”. I will go right ahead and admit that I am a Star Wars lover. So when I got the chance to let the kids try this book out for themselves I was ready for them to go to bed so I could have my turn to draw some of our favorite characters. My 6 year old, Taylor, totally loved this book. She is a budding artist in my eyes and she really enjoyed going through the entire book and seeing all of the different things to draw and finding out how to draw them.

About

Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars is packed with tips and techniques, practice space to draw right in the book, and translucent overlays to make you a master of drawing. Start with stick figures, move onto basic shapes, and finish up with the details. Learn to draw 20 different Clone Wars characters. The book comes with everything you need, including a black marker, double-tipped metallic — colored pencils, and an always-sharp mechanical pencil. Of course, we also include perhaps the most essential tool for any artist… an eraser. Because sometimes even a Jedi Master could use a do-over.


Ryan’s Rating

Looking at the book you can tell it is packed with tons of content and stuff to keep you busy for hours.  It totally kick things off the right way by introducing kids to beginning sketches, then moves on to cover shading, outlining and coloring.  By the end of the book it has you completely drawing characters from the TV series and in following their instructions it actually turns out really great.  The only thing that I can see that might be a downer is that you really have to pay attention to the age recommendation on the book.  When it says 8….it means 8.  It may be hard to deter the littler ones at wanting this book and them not being able to catch on or complete the activities without grabbing the book and hurling it a another child that could.

Overall Rating – 7 out of 10

Buy It

You can go straight to Klutz’s site and start drawing your favorite characters.  The books retail for $16.95.
