Book Description

October 1, 2000
Any kid who's ever dreamed of owning a Ferrari, getting behind the wheel of a huge truck or a fierce fighter jet—or at least being able to whip out a pencil and amaze friends by drawing them all—will race to get a copy of this coolest of how-to art instructionals. All of the most spectacular makes are included, from Lamborghini to Lotus to Porsche, as well as the entire array of American muscle cars. Timeless classics are highlighted, such as the Jaguar E-Type and the “Gullwing” Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe, as are Formula One, stock, and rally cross racing cars.

Authentic diagrams and blueprints show exactly how a car is built and how an engine works. Instead of being shown in static isolation, models are depicted racing, going around hairpin turns, crashing, and in other exciting scenes, and immensely popular monster trucks are shown in eye-popping action, crushing rows of cars. The author takes his students to even greater heights with lessons in drawing awesome stealth fighters and other U.S. Air Force jets, bombers, and Apache helicopters.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Hart has come up with a unique book that has less to do with art, as traditionally defined, than a kid's natural urge to draw cars, trucks, and jets. The basics of shape, dimension, and perspective are applied to Lamborghinis and Porsches, American muscle cars, monster trucks, stealth fighters, and Apache helicopters. Each subject is accompanied by a brief history, performance stats, and in some cases authentic diagrams and blueprints. This book is just plain fun, and it might inspire someone who hadn't thought of creative art to produce some very satisfying work. Recommended.

More About the Author

Thanks for taking a look at my books, and this "Author Bio." I'm a competent tennis player, who also enjoys playing computer chess while I'm watching TV at night (Hey, it prevents me from channel-surfing). I'm keenly interested in M-theory, although i have become skeptical of it of late, despite Brian's Green's full-body gushing... I love being with my family, and even my extremely evil dog, a Welsh Springer Spaniel named "Rusty." Oh, yes, he truly is that evil.

As for my work, I'm the author of many How-To-Draw books, published by Watson-Guptill,the art imprint of Random House. Thanks to a lot of the wonderful readers (and you know who you are!), I have sold over 3 million copies domestically, which have been translated into 20 languages worldwide.

I'm fortunate to also have had 26 of the Best-Selling art books in the country, according to Bookscan.(Bookscan is the publishing industry's rating system for books, which is owned by same company that does the Neislen TV ratings.)

I also have my own drawing show on the Comcast Network, called, "How To Draw Action Heroes With Chris Hart." It's on Comcast's "Activity TV." I hope you like my books, and find them a valuable adjunct to your own imagination.

1.0 out of 5 stars i wish i could give it zero stars!!, September 12, 2001
By 
dreamy (Baltimore,MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks, & Fighter Jets (Paperback)
Just with all of Hart's books this book cover is misleading.You look at the cover and think I'm really going to learn something and you read the book and get disappointed.He only shows the finnished step.He doesn't show the steps on how to get to the finnished step.Instead of describing how he draws it he gives you a history on each car.I'm sorry but telling a person the car history doesn't show them how to draw the car.I'm starting to think that Hart's books aren't very good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for children, May 23, 2009
By 
Molly (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks, & Fighter Jets (Paperback)
I was dissapointed this came up under drawing books for children; the content is inappropriate for kids. For example, chase scenes with guns and shooting. Book does not show many steps how to draw the cars. For adults who have drawing skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done!!, July 15, 2003
By 
This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks, & Fighter Jets (Paperback)
Well written and incredible drawings. Anybody who likes to move around in something with a motor will love this book. Of course most kids who love cars grow up into adults who love cars. I enjoyed this book as much as my 13 year old son.
