9780823023950: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks & Fighter Jets

Synopsis

A guide to drawing cars, trucks and jets. All the most spectacular models are included, from Lamborghini to Lotus to Porsche as well as the entire array of American muscle cars. Timeless classics are highlighted, such as the Jaguar XKE and the Gullwing Mercedes, as are racing cars, such as Formula One, stock cars and rally racers. There are lots of diagrams and blueprints, which demonstrate how a car is built and how an engine works. The cars are also depicted in scenes (not in static isolation), such as car races, race car crashes, and races around hairpin turns. In addition, each car features its own set of statistics: horse power, top speeds, and the price tag. The trucks are also depicted in action scenes, crushing rows of cars, just as they do in monster truck events. The fighter jets covered include the fighter jets of the US Air Force, such as the stealth fighters, radar jets, bombers, and Apache helicopters. Statistics are given on just how fast these machines fly - up to three times the speed of sound.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Any kid who's ever dreamed of owning a Ferrari, getting behind the wheel of a huge truck or a fierce fighter jet—or at least being able to whip out a pencil and amaze friends by drawing them all—will race to get a copy of this coolest of how-to art instructionals. All of the most spectacular makes are included, from Lamborghini to Lotus to Porsche, as well as the entire array of American muscle cars. Timeless classics are highlighted, such as the Jaguar E-Type and the “Gullwing” Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe, as are Formula One, stock, and rally cross racing cars.

Authentic diagrams and blueprints show exactly how a car is built and how an engine works. Instead of being shown in static isolation, models are depicted racing, going around hairpin turns, crashing, and in other exciting scenes, and immensely popular monster trucks are shown in eye-popping action, crushing rows of cars. The author takes his students to even greater heights with lessons in drawing awesome stealth fighters and other U.S. Air Force jets, bombers, and Apache helicopters.
