The automobile seems to be as popular now as it ever was. Posters of cars still adorn many a childโs bedroom wall, and school exercise books are full of doodles of cars. This new edition of a very popular book takes those notebook sketches and teaches you how to develop them into the car designs you see in magazines. Using simple to follow step-by-step drawings it guides you from pencil sketch to marker rendering, from doodle to highly visual computer generated artwork. Adrian Dewey has worked on designs as diverse as small sports cars to double decker buses, modified motors to concept Formula 1 cars, using various techniques and styles. In this book, he uses his knowledge of different styles to guide the reader in creating great artwork and designs of their own. The book shows in detail how to use different materials and how to get the most out of each one, whether it be a great pencil sketch or a photo realistic vector illustration. The book also features an easy to follow index for quick reference on different types of drawing. Review: Helping Wrench Heads Understand Concept Artists - I am really enjoying this book and it's explanation of creating Concept Illustrations, from a beginners perspective. Enough Information to keep me on track without being too restrictive and limiting my own imaginative processes. I am a "Nuts and Volts" kind of guy who does CAD and has been active on Vehicle Design web sites such as The Forge. In that arena, I am surrounded by extremely good Conceptual Illustrators.This book is helping me bridge the gap between our different vehicle perspectives and how to communicate / translate my thoughts.

Doesn't represent value
Not much indepth technical explaination. average examples. read in one sitting and probably written in the same time. The discussions on perpective and vanishing points are inadequate

Decent reference
Not a bad reference for car design and illustration. Narrative is informative with some practical exercises.

Must read book for any industrial designer
I'm good at sketching but always had problems colouring, if you're like me then this book is for you. It explains the principles behind how to shade and render cars. All concepts are explained in such a general (universal) way, and are easy to apply to product design. I got the Kindle version. I cannot recommend it enough!

Don't buy this book...
This book is out dated... its terrible actually... I'm an industrial designer and I love books- even if you get one idea from a book its usually worth it. What you get with this book is some process on rending in marker... but for the most part- bad illustrations, terrible choice of fonts, seems a bit disorganized because there is a lack of consistency... I honestly think it sucks. The book title says how to illustrate and design. It covers illustration but when it comes to actual automotive design? forget it- I'm bummed I wasted my money on this book.
