First Sentence
Except for a few amateur inventors who may have fastened a crude steam engine to a couple of bicycles in attempts to come up with horseless contraptions, most people who design vehicles-whether for land, sea, or air-started with a pen to paper. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
Being a car enthusiast and artist, I believe that this book is a very well explained, contains awesome illustrations, and provides an easy to follow hands on course for all automotive enthusiasts and artists. The book provides a good sense of feel for drawing cars, while at the same time not limiting the reader, or rather, the drawer to drawing the "stereotypical" car. The drawer is able to take the concepts reviewed in the book, and then incorporate his or her ideas to expand one's abilities. This is a great review for professional designers, a handy resource for all designers, and a good learning tool for the younger artists. I enjoyed reading (viewing) this book and recommend it to anyone even the slightest bit interested.

As an artist and a designer, I do not have alot of time to go back to class! I needed a crash course in drawing cars, but also to do so with style! This book saved me untold hours of frustration, and boring professors.

As a mechanical engineer and an artist I have always liked building street rods and custom vehicles. I have been a huge fan of Thom Taylor's designs and ability to put them on paper for years. Taylor goes methodically through the basics and reasoning, with examples by himself and other great artists, to give one the foundation needed to start drawing with sound fundamentals. The artistic quality of the book itself is worth the price.
