If you are an experienced artist who wants some help with drawing the Star Wars vehicles and characters while being condescended to--buy this book. If you are a little kid who wants to draw like the big kids using pencils that cost more than your chocolate milk at school--buy this book. If you are a little kid to a tweenager who wants to learn how to draw like a comic book artist--there are much better books out there. Because this book is trying to hit two audiences--the little kid artist with ...more

If I've checked it out from the library three times and kept it for the maximum time each time I've checked it out, I guess it has to merit 5 stars.
I really like this book both for my own sketching practice and for getting my kids interested in sketching possibilities. They're much more willing to practice lines and arcs if we make them a part of a light saber or a droid.
Its also a great character study for science fiction fans and has tips for converting Star Wars characters...more

A good resource for any young artist. It starts by covering drawing equipment, which is valuable to anyone starting out drawing, whether or not they want to draw Star Wars. Burton gives step-by-step instructsions, sometimes includin vellum overlays to show the process. The book starts with the basics of drawing and then moves on to more advanced concpets like perspective. Late pages explain how to go from pencil drawins to ink, and how to put pictures in comic form. A good choice for artist...more
The only thing here that you couldn't get by going to starwars.com and hitting the drawing archive was a speech bubble template and an analysis about how tall a body is. Most of the drawing examples are online.
Not great, not bad. Get it from the library.
Edit, September 2011: Starwars.com has changed its site dramatically and removed all the drawing archives. I don't know whether any of the videos about drawing have survived the site change.
