Summary: The best primer on the basics by the best artist
Review: 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.

Summary: Best art education I ever recieved from a book!
Review: 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.

Summary: The one to buy
Review: As an artist who is good with characters but weak on perspective and mechanical forms, I have looked at a lot of books over the years about how to solve the problems associated with drawing vehicles. This is the best, the clearest, and the most useful. I use it as reference whenever I have to draw cars and sometimes I look at it just for enjoyment.

Summary: Very well organized, illustrated, and explained book.
Review: 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.-Brian (PVKnight)

Summary: Teens love this book
Review: I bought this book for a 16 yr old "motorhead" and I was a little worried when I ordered it that it would be too juvenile. It isn't. He said it was "awesome" and thanked me about 3 times (and if you know 16 yr old boys this is high praise). It has a good variety of techniques and subjects (i.e.: shading, color techniques, trucks, interiors, race cars, cartoons) and a little bit on how to pursue this as a career with art design schools and all. That made it even better in my opinion.
If your teen is really into drawing cars and may even think about auto design as a career, this would be a good book to get them started.

Summary: The best book ever
Review: I just recieved this book yesterday. Had some time to try the step by step and how-to parts and I have to say this is exactly what i needed, maybe even a little better than I expected, and if someone makes the SAME book but about drawing motorcycles, I will buy it for twice the price of this one :). I think the book should have been bigger :) ( i dont mind it being more expensive since it's the best ). The author could write a book about each chapter in this book and sell many. It would be nice too. Even more detailed explanation. Anyway, Im very very happy with this book...Also, I wish there was a video with drawing tips like in this book...

Summary: A Gift for All
Review: I read a review of this book in an older issue of Car & Driver magazine. Taken in by the hopes of finding a great Christmas gift for my boyfriend, I purchased the book -- and now I use it myself! We both appreciate the easy, step-by-step instruction and the car art included is just breathtaking. Thom Taylor is one of the best in the industry- and with this book, you will see why.

Summary: It DOES teach u how to draw cars!
Review: I'm sorry for writing a 2nd review, but i just want to say that I disagree with the previous review saying it doesnt teach drawing cars. This book has a part about each of the important subjects on drawing cars, all the details that you need to know.
And I made a huge progress with it.
My website has the drawings which were done after the purchase of this book. When I compare the ones before with the new ones, it makes me laugh.
You dont just start drawing perfect cars after u read this book, it takes time and lots of practicing. Do you expect to be drawing like Thom Taylor just after u read it?!... Take you time and patience, lots of it. And thats all you need. And at the end of the book you see the artwork, by the best car artists. Which is great...

Summary: This book Rocks, I love it!
Review: Just recieved my book today and, after completing the first chapter on perspective, I can honestly say that this book is very cool ane useful. I can't wait to work through the other chapters in this book, especially the chapters on shading and reflection. Not all the advice may be useful, but the book covers the essential fundamentals on perspective that you MUST use when drawing automobiles.
The artwork shown in this book is from various professionals and may frustrate some artists who compare thier work to the pictures shown in the book. Drawing automobiles is difficult to do well. Takes much practice Here is my advice on using the book. Take your time, work through the chapters and use only the advice that works for YOU. Your drawings will not look like the ones in the book as everyone has thier own unique style.

Summary: the title is so misleading!!
Review: This book didn't teach me how to draw cars!What it did show me was art work from talented car artists.Showing me artwork will not teach me how to draw a car.
