Product Description
From Library Journal
Hart has come up with a unique book that has less to do with art, as traditionally defined, than a kid's natural urge to draw cars, trucks, and jets. The basics of shape, dimension, and perspective are applied to Lamborghinis and Porsches, American muscle cars, monster trucks, stealth fighters, and Apache helicopters. Each subject is accompanied by a brief history, performance stats, and in some cases authentic diagrams and blueprints. This book is just plain fun, and it might inspire someone who hadn't thought of creative art to produce some very satisfying work. Recommended.

Book Description
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.

Well Done!!,
By Larry "Larry" (Fairfield, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks and Fighter Jets (Paperback)
Well written and incredible drawings. Anybody who likes to move around in something with a motor will love this book. Of course most kids who love cars grow up into adults who love cars. I enjoyed this book as much as my 13 year old son.

This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks and Fighter Jets (Paperback)
This is a great little book. Like a lot of guys, I love fast cars and this book was a pleasure to read and study with. Lots of practice and my techniques have improved greatly. This book is well worth the modest cover price.

i wish i could give it zero stars!!,
By dreamy (Baltimore,MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Draw Fast Cars, Monster Trucks and Fighter Jets (Paperback)
Just with all of Hart's books this book cover is misleading.You look at the cover and think I'm really going to learn something and you read the book and get disappointed.He only shows the finnished step.He doesn't show the steps on how to get to the finnished step.Instead of describing how he draws it he gives you a history on each car.I'm sorry but telling a person the car history doesn't show them how to draw the car.I'm starting to think that Hart's books aren't very good.
