Ever wanted to draw Star Wars characters and vehicles just like the professional comic book artists? In this step-by-step series, Star Wars artists and illustrators show you how to draw some of the most beloved characters in the saga.
Star Wars illustrator and Draw Star Wars: The Clone Wars book artist Grant Gould explains with these easy-to-follow steps on how to draw young Boba Fett from The Clone Wars.
Steps 1-4 are drawn lightly with pencil. No pen, no dark lines. Finished lines and details will come at the end. New steps are shown in blue.


Step One:
Using very light pencil strokes, begin by drawing a framework of lines, ovals, and circles. Creating a stick figure to pose your character is a good idea and it can help keep a loose, natural feel to your illustration. Teach yourself to start with basic shapes. Everything you see can be broken down into simple shapes such as squares, triangles, rectangles, etc.
Step Two:
Now that a framework of basic shapes is in place, begin your character's silhouette. Again, use light pencil strokes so that you can easily erase and redraw your lines if necessary. A silhouette can be a quick outline, there's no need to add a ton of details yet. Just imagine where the sides of the character's arms are, where the edges of his belt might be, where his hair pokes out.
Step Three:
Now it's time to start fleshing out your character. Using the framework and the silhouette that you've laid down with light pencil strokes, you can start adding in the details of Boba's shirt, belt, shoes, hair, etc. Feel free to use slightly heavier lines during this step, but always keep in mind that if something looks wrong, you can just erase it and try again. Practice makes perfect!
Step Four:
Once you're happy with how his outfit and other details look, you can draw his face and his hands. Fingers are tricky, so pay extra attention to them. Sometimes it can even be helpful to look at your own hands while drawing, or to hold them up to a mirror for reference. Spend extra time on Boba's facial expression and eyes, too. The face is the first thing people notice when they see a character drawing, so you want to make sure you're happy with how it looks.
Step Five:
Now that everything looks the way you want it to, go over your existing lines from Steps 3 and 4 with darker, bolder pencil lines, or go over it with ink (a pen, marker, etc.) for a nice finished look. From this point on, you can add as much or as little as you like. Some people like to add some shading with their pencil. Some people like to add some color with colored pencils or markers. It's completely up to you!
Step Six:
Here's my final version of young Boba Fett, colored digitally in a program called Photoshop on my computer. He's clenching his fist and saying, "You'd better check me out in the Season Two finale, kids!"
