4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good...., January 18, 2005
When I first looked into this book at a bookstore, I thought it was an interesting read, but it seemed a little vague. I eventually brought it months later and I have to admit that it's actually pretty good. They nicely intergrated everything into sections, such as the history of car design, current car design leaders and drawing techniques. The whole thing looks professional and is nicely told all around. It really is a good read.

One thing that did bother me, and also contributed to the 4-star rating rather than 5, was that the drawing techniques and tutorial section had been ripped off from wwwDOTcardesignnewsDOTcom

If you only want to buy the book for the drawing lesson, just head to the site I mentioned. It has the EXACT tutorials the book has, and for free!

4.0 out of 5 stars The name says it all, March 4, 2008
If you are looking for a book about car drawing, skip this one. As the name says, its about design. There are many insights on what designers search when sketching a car, but very few tips on how to actually draw it by yourself (as it was already commented, you can find the tutorials in the internet - for free). That said, this is a very good book. It depicts the creative process behind the design, it teaches you how to see a car, and shows how some of the greatests (read Patrick Le Quement) do it themselves. It is nicely organized, with enough pictures so you won't need your imagination to understand what they are talking about. Not perfect, but surely very good. Strongly recommended.
If you want to get the whole pack, design+drawing, I recommend buying this book together with "How to draw cars like a pro", like I did. Ýou won't regret doing so.
