5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book with excellent explanations
There is one aspect of this book that makes it extra valuable: Scott Robertson. Not only is he a master in perspective drawing. What makes Scott stand out is his ability to explain this in simple exercises and make you want to practise and understand. The simple texts and exercises are given a nice touch with excellent corresponding drawings. Great value for money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good not Great!
Purchased for a 7.75 year old boy who loves to draw. He likes it but not as well as the drawing book by Hart.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best vehicle perspective books, March 5, 2008
This review is from: How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way (Paperback)
I bought this book solely because Scott Robertson wrote it. Normally I would have passed this book by thinking it was a children's book on drawing hotwheels. Boy was I surprised when I received it.

This is not as much a book on drawing cars but a book explaining how to use perspective when drawing vehicles which could be used for all types of vehicles. I've read many books on perspective and this one has been the most well developed instruction on vehicle perspective. His instructions are very detailed with great illustrations for each step. And we're not talking about glossed over quick 3 step instructions, most instructions are over 10 steps. So he goes slow with enough detail to not miss anything necessary to truly understand this topic.

Another bonus, is that he explains in detail how to render with various art media and also step by step how to render in Photoshop. These instructions are as detailed as that for drawing in perspective.

This book was a Great Surprise! I wish I had found it earlier. I probably could have forgone many books for what I've found in this one. Don't let the name fool you, pick this book up no matter what level of artist, illustrator, cartoonist or designer you are. Great book!!! 5 Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had to buy two copies!, January 17, 2007
By 
Jim Wilson "carguy" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way (Paperback)
The minute this book arrived and I saw how great it was I realized that I would need to give it as a gift to a designer friend. Then I needed to order another copy to keep for myself. If you are a designer, want to draw cars, or are just a fan of Hot Wheels cars, Scott Robertson's book is a wonderful insight into the world of unlimited transportation imagination. Kids of ALL AGES would love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, May 11, 2011
This review is from: How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for learning advanced perspective techniques...though the techniques in here are not for beginners. To really understand what scott is teaching here, i would get his gnomon dvd in conjunction with this book, and between them you can learn pretty much everything you need to know about advanced perspective. This was of great help to me in learning to properly plot curved forms in space...i wince every time i see an artist that does not understand how to properly use perspective drawing, it's not hard to learn if you are willing to put the time in. This is assuredly a more advanced book though, just fair warning.
