Draw Cars (Paperback)

~ Doug Dubosque (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8-DuBosque offers real instruction and hours of fun here. All those youngsters fascinated with automobiles will find the organization and sequential approach easy to follow. The text, illustrated with precise, detailed pencil drawings or black-and-white photos, is quite readable and often takes the form of dialogue when the author speaks to young artists about his own successes and failures. He also anticipates problems and mistakes, correcting them with lighthearted captions. All of the favorite makes are here-Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Corvette, etc. A step-by-step, how-to book with quality drawings and information.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is cool!, May 8, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Centreville, VA) - See all my reviews

I am 9 years old and I love to draw pictures of cars. This book tells you how to draw some very cool cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari and Dodge Viper. If you like to draw like I do, you might want to get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Draw Cars, February 7, 1999

By A Customer

I own the older version of this book by Doug DuBosque and I think that this book is absolutely a best buy. I am a middle-schooler and I like to draw cars in my spare time. This book like many other books gives the reader something else to do other than read and read and read. I think that this is an excellent book and I give it 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every how to book should be modeled after this one., December 10, 2001

By	Aaron Newlands "Sithgod" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What can I say. the book is brilliant. He shows step by step how to a car side on. Every step of the way. Then there are several cars side on. He cuts out some of the steps but tells us to do it the way we did the first one and to check back to it. After that he shows how to do cars from angles.
The joy of this book isn't just in the cars he has chosen. Everything from a 1906 franklin to a formula 1 racer is in it. But he explains how to look at photo's, or magazines and draw the cars from there.
He also shows how to turn a standard car into a fantasy car. It really is worth the money. An excellent book.
