Learn to Draw Star Wars: Villains

Using just two graphite pencils, two types of erasers, drawing paper, and this book, you can Learn to Draw Star Wars Villains.

After a brief look at tools and techniques, the book dives into a step-by-step approach of drawing eleven Star Wars villains. Here is a complete list of those shown:
• Darth Maul
• General Grevious
• Count Dooku
• Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious
• Darth Vader
• Bib Fortuna
• Jabba the Hutt
• Boba Fett
• Kylo Ren
• Captain Phasma
• Supreme Leader Snoke

There are also closer looks at how to draw lightsabers and trooper helmets, drawing faces behind masks, and the differences between Boba and Jango Fett. How I wish I had read the helmet section before buying my then-teenage daughter a Storm Trooper helmet online. When it arrived, she started crying and shouted that it was a clone warrior helmet. I said but look it has the mouth scoops. I now know that it was a Phase II clone helmet. At the time, I was thinking of the Phase I clone helmet. Heavy sigh...

The steps for each drawing start with simple circles and gradually add details and texture until the finished picture emerges. There are excellent details about how to make fabrics look worn and achieve the right texture depending on the type of material. It also shows the reader how to draw leather and metallic parts accurately.

Learn to Draw Star Wars Villains is a great gift choice for the artist or Star Wars fan in your life. It doesn’t assume any pre-existing level of drawing skill. For younger artists, copying the rough outline would also work. 4 stars!

Thanks to the publisher, Walter Foster, and NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is perfect for any budding artist. Unlike some other character drawing books, this book does not take a cartoon approach to the iconic villains.
It breaks down how to draw them, step by step, but the true artwork comes with the instructions on shading, blending and adding detail.

They show you really good details on how to draw the most villainous characters in the Star Wars galaxy, including Darth Maul - Nathan, age 8

Learn to Draw Star Wars: Villains: Draw favorite Star Wars villains, including Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and Darth Maul
by Walter Foster Creative Team is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. I found this book very fascinating and helpful! I don't think it is for absolute beginners but those with some some experience with shading. The book steps the reader through many complete characters and heads of characters. Great variety! It takes the steps from basic shape to complete drawing.
This is a book I hope to get!

Very cool step by step detailed instructions on drawing Star Wars bad guys throughout all the films, even the modern ones.

Absolutely 5 stars from everyone in this family!!! Yes, we love Star Wars but being fans we have seen the movies, been to the theme park in FL, even read the books.~ This added a whole other dimension to our enjoyment! (*added note: we have a big Boba Fett fan in the house and learning how to draw his favorite character has been a real treat for my son!)
