I had seen that there were a couple of other how to draw books out there and thought that I could really contribute to the offerings. Unfortunately things didn&#8217;t work out. There were long spells of silence and then nothing. sigh<\/p>\n<p>So I took the matter into my own hands. If I wasn&#8217;t going to be able to get a license to make some heroic Star Wars Stories, I would have to make my own. I decided that I would lean on the Greek Myths and create a How-To-Draw Storybook. As the reader meets the characters in the story of Theseus vs. The Minotaur the learn how to draw them with the DrawingIsSimple method. But for this book I actually had a special coin minted to be used as a drawing template. The coin has guide lines on it to mark after the coin is traced. It essentially is an adaptable connect-the-dots template. I am pleased with the way the book turned out, but it&#8217;s costly to make all of these products on my own and the try and figure out a proper distribution for them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-104 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drawingissimple.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/post-2014-0220a.jpg\" alt=\"post-2014-0220a\" width=\"1168\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.drawingissimple.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/post-2014-0220a.jpg 1168w, http:\/\/www.drawingissimple.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/post-2014-0220a-620x388.jpg 620w, http:\/\/www.drawingissimple.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/post-2014-0220a-768x481.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.drawingissimple.com\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/post-2014-0220a-1000x626.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1168px) 100vw, 1168px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was out at the Star Wars Celebration event I met with a publisher to see if I could make an officially licensed DrawingIsSimple Star Wars book.
