I think the book is as described, a step by step, of how to draw various vehicles including some military trucks and other equipment.Starting out you may have to take the lead and guide the recipient in the beginning but I believe most boys and some girls AGEs seven to twelve would find the drawings interesting but if your child is younger than seven and not a prodigy wait a year maybe two so they have the best success.This book has some pretty cool drawings and step by steps: do this, then that, then this examples, but the book is not going to work miracles.The recipient has to be willing to follow direction, do some trial and error, erase, redraw and have the ability to concentrate long enough to follow the directions given in the book.This was bought by me for an eight year old who loves to draw.I believe the drawings are age appropriate (not difficult when followed initially in order) but supervision from an adult ten to fifteen minutes at a time a few times will help with immediate success which I believe will lead to less frustration and further interest with each new accomplishment.Would I purchase the book again? No! BUT!!! I would recommend to others considering this book and would purchase the book if I did not have one now. The content within will help the recipient learn basic drawing concepts. Happy Drawing.
Our 10 yr old grandson wanted to try his 'hand' with drawing. This is a great beginner book. Vehicles start with the basic square, circle, triangle etc. A new child needs some guidance. An experienced drawer might find this too easy.
I bought this book for my boys because they are always trying to draw military things and they have been able to draw a lot of the pictures in here. I would recommend this book to 10 and older because some of the pictures are really detailed.
I got this for my 7 year old for his birthday. He loves it. He is getting really good at drawing. He can easily understand what the steps are. I loved how focused he is and that he is following directions. I have even drawn some with it. Way cool art book.
I purchased this book for my nephew for Christmas so he hasn't received it yet. However, I was VERY happy with the book. It was thicker than I expected. My nephew is nine and loves to draw. This book does a good job of showing how to use simple shapes such as blocks, triangles, etc to lay a foundation for drawing. I would recommend to a friend and would buy again.
I got this for my 7 year old son for Christmas and he's doing such a good job! He had been trying to draw transformers and army vehicles before this and was struggling to get the shapes right. But this book walks him through from the general shapes to the finishing touches. His first drawing after using the book was SO much improved! Definitely worth it for young artists.
I bought this for an 11 year old boy who loves to draw cars and machinery and he adores it. He draws nonstop from it.I also love the paper and how the book is put together. A great gift for a child who loves that sort of thing.
Would have liked to find a book with more non-military machines, but these are still great for a little boy!
