Beginners need not apply. If you are an advanced artist and/or looking to get into the field of digital art or computer games and need some challenging work, this might be a good book for you.

Also, I found very few of the pictures inspiring. Many look impossible, giant lumbering war machines balanced on tiny feet, 50's retro robots that didn't interest me, a micro robot made out of proteins, a Geisha robot in a long flowing dress which took up most of the picture and didn't make her look like a robot at all, etc.

It does start with some detailed pages of what advanced art supplies a professional might use, which is a nice addition.

I know how to draw, though I'm a beginner. If the book was more my level (not the books fault, really) or if the pictures were more inspiring and interesting (this part is subjective, of course) I might give it one more star.

This book is a good example of what can go wrong when you buy a book on Amazon. Had I flipped through it at the book store I would have known immediately that it wasn't for me.

This book has a nice progression from sketch to final drawings. Its nice to see different styles and techniques from multiple artists. It focuses on the right stuff. Some of the robots seem a bit "amateurish" but still a good reference.

it was ok and some of them looked really nice and i draw some of them but some are imposible to draw and others look to ugly only handfull looked really nice

this had alot more pics of some pretty cool robots and what they would look like today and in the past..I really dug the war robots both past and present but then there are a few that are more "george jetson" type ots like the "Assitant" and a few others..its a pretty good book..least it inspires the imagination to come up with a drawing or two of your own robots working off what this book offers...all in all..prob find better or just as good ideas in Epic or Heavy metal magazines off Ebay

This book is amazing, its detailed steps and diagrams are very helpful to any one who whants to learn about robots and how they work, right down to the last nut and bolt.
