New Marvel app and stylus released to help teach how to draw Super Heroes

Kids can now learn how to draw Marvel characters as part of the Marvel Creativity Studio Stylus and App for the iPad.

“Leveraging the comic drawing history of the Marvel brand with the innovation that eKids brings to the table – or in this case, tablet – this product delivers a fun experience with endless play value,” Josh Silverman, executive vice president of global franchise licensing and commercialization at Disney Consumer Products said in a news release.

The app and stylus, which costs $34.99, contains:

• Illustrated coloring pages with drawing tools.
• Using the stylus unlocks special tools to help color the page.
• An interactive grid system includes drawing aids such as side-by-side drawing canvas, trace lines and a unique “Drawing Scope” – allowing artists to learn how to draw the characters.
• The ability to build and animate action scenes with character stickers, sound effects, speech bubbles and backgrounds.
