I ordered this book for my 7 year old who loves to draw. We were both disappointed in the very simplistic drawings that were taught. I purchased the How to Draw 101 Animals and How to Draw 101 Monsters books by Dan Green in the same order and were very impressed with the level of detail that these two books provided. I would only recommend this book for the early/beginning child artist - otherwise, the sketches are just too simplistic.
Really like how simple the designs are. This is goof for younger children starting to draw. My son is 5, he is starting to get it. It helps me as a mother who never drew many cars and trucks as a child. My son always wants me to draw cars for him.
Overall nicely done.... just weird that no car actually looks like a real car. I'm not saying perfectly... but none is one that my 4 year old really liked. And he's a car lover. There's one car, the car pictured on the front. And then there's some sort of station wagon. The rest are trucks. I think the trucks are pretty nice, all made of blocks/rectangles. Anyway, would have like at least two pages of cars.... maybe trade all the spaceship and airplane pages for more cars. But very easy to follow instructions for the most basic of drawers, so that's good.
The book delivers what it advertises, so it's good. There seem to be more trucks than necessary -- it'd be nice to see a bigger variety of truck type.That said, I actually hid the book after a few days from my 4 year old. Why? He began to hold the book's visualizations of what a vehicle should look like as biblical instructions. He's an extremely creative kid, and suddenly he was just copying the same images, and feeling frustrated when his renditions weren't accurate, etc. I'd prefer to just have him draw whatever his little heart desires and interprets. Maybe this book is better for older children? But in any case, the book's fine.
For each vehicle you are given 3-4 steps. Basic geometric shapes are used to compose a project. Each step conjoins 2 or more shapes to eventually build the complete drawing. Dashed lines indicate lines to be erased after another shape is placed over it or to contour the object. A practice page is adjacent to the instruction page. However, the practice page has the next project on the other side. I would suggest a drawing pad for practice and tracing paper for more challenging shapes. I plan on sitting down with my grandson to do the first drawing, explain the dashes and have him use the tracing paper for practice on the challenging projects. This is an easy book for children who spend most of their time drawing. I would have given it 5 stars if it had a practice page which could be removed.
Very Very basic.....guess one doesn't really need a book if one has to draw something so basic. One can generally look the internet and draw.Got this for my four yearsâ old and he got bored right away.
My son likes to draw, but he is no artist. Rather, he is a doodler, who can teach himself to draw simple things. So when I saw this book, I thought it would be just right for him. And I was absolutely right, because Barbara Soloff Levy does an excellent job of simplifying how to draw automobiles, includes blank pages to practice next to the instructions, and gives lots of different types of vehicles to choose from. Highly recommended!
I found this book fun and enlightening. If you are a whimsical artist or just want to do some sketches for practice, this is a great book for that. Cars, trucks, airplanes, boats....... any vehicle you could think . If you can grab it for a good price, it is well worth it and can be a book that you can go back to over and over again. I enjoyed a different point of view in drawing these different vehicles. It is a simple book and each page is filled with one drawing and there is even a blank page across from the drawing that you can practice.
