You Can Draw: Star Wars is a book from 2007 that provides detailed instructions on how to illustrate different aspects from the six Star Wars movies.
Have you ever wished to create Star Wars characters in the style of professional comic-book illustrators, but lacked the knowledge of where to begin? This book equips you with the skills necessary to illustrate characters ranging from the faithful R2-D2 to the charismatic scoundrel Han Solo.
You will acquire a variety of impressive and valuable methods employed by artists to animate their drawings. Nevertheless, before you can evolve any simple drawing into a Sith character, you must keep in mind a crucial element: consistent practice!
Engage in drawing frequently. Whether it is on a napkin during breakfast, within the borders of a magazine while commuting on the bus, or on a spare sheet of paper while conversing on the telephone. The more you rehearse these methods, the more proficient you will become as an artist.
One additional point: this book will not instantaneously transform you into a master. Just as these abilities necessitate practice to perfect, you must possess patience to execute them correctly. Lacking patience will lead to frustration and disarray, akin to Anakin Skywalker, and we all know his fate! Therefore, practice, remain patient, and most importantly, enjoy the process!
At Celebration IV, the Del Rey exhibit (booth #825) gave away 500 complimentary copies of a special You Can Draw: Star Wars DVD. This DVD contained a compilation of all seven short videos, starring co-illustrator Matt Busch, that were initially published on Del Rey's website and partially on StarWars.com.
