4.0 out of 5 stars
Just the basics,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Draw Cars and Trucks (How to Draw (Dover)) (Paperback)
This is a good starter book for children from 4 to 8 with an interest in drawing vehicles. It includes diagrams (no text) showing the basic construction of several types of vehicles, and because it uses simple shapes it's easy to follow.
Using squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles and lines, each object is reduced to a bare-bones framework, which is then touched up to arrive at the final drawing. It should be noted that this book only covers very simple two dimensional drawings, but practicing these will provide the groundwork for drawing objects in the right proportions. The 28 vehicles that can be drawn include a station wagon, front and side views of a car, a camper, various types of trucks, buses and vans, a fire engine, trains, boats, a hot air balloon, an airplane, blimp and helicopter, a bike, a trike and a sled. After grasping these concepts, young artists can go on to add as much detail as their imaginations will permit, before moving on to more advanced drawing lessons. Amanda Richards, June 20, 2008

Great instructions for great pictures,
By Mom with two kids (Lake Tahoe, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Cars and Trucks (How to Draw (Dover)) (Paperback)
I stopped my artistic development at stick figures and my children (ages 5 and 7) aren't much better. But, they want to draw different things. This series is great -- it is simple to follow and the results are great. I highly recommend this book as well as other books in the How to Draw series.
