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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars....nice Learn to Draw for 8yr +, October 16, 2009

This review is from: Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Spiral-bound)

***This book is actually listed for 8yr and up. I noticed before ordering that it says it is for 4-8 yr olds but assumed that is was for older kids.***

This is a nice drawing workbook typical to this brand. It comes with the little plastic pencil case, a pen and pencil that are stamped with the Star Wars logo, a blue and black colored pencil, and an eraser(not what is pictured). I would have liked the dual colored pencils pictured in the description.

It begins with basic drawing steps, tracing, stick figures & shapes and then the details. There are pages to learn to draw all of the main Clone Wars characters along with troopers and droids. The book is meant to be drawn in but I think some extra tracing paper may be helpful for my son(8yr).

The drawings are very detailed and fairly advanced but it does have good instructions.

I bought this book for my son who is 11 years old - he loves Star Wars. He enjoys it very much and his drawings of the characters have been very good. Directions and pictures are easy to follow. I was happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Gift, January 11, 2011

This review is from: Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Spiral-bound)

My 7 year old son received this as a Christmas gift and it has been one of the favorites, if not the favorite. My son loves art and drawing, so this works very well for him. So, as far as age is concerned, I guess it depends on the fine motor ability and the love of Star Wars. I am ordering the Marvel one for him now. I hope they make more in the future.
