Not Just For Kids, July 10 2007
By Jesse Acosta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: You Can Draw Transformers (Spiral-bound)
I saw this and had to pick it up, I'm not a big fan of Transformers so to speak, but I love robots, so this was a must. The book actually moves pretty quickly on how to draw, so I'd suggest this book is for people who already have decent skills, and wish to learn to draw some techniques to create Transformers. The book moves from drawing transformers, to inking, some coloring basics, and even laying out panels for a comic. Again, keep in mind that this book, I believe, is meant for people with fundamental drawing skills already. The book moves quite briskly between the chapters, but gives enough information to get you started.
I'm 25, and I really enjoyed the book, I felt a little goofy purchasing this at a local bookshop though; but oh well. We are always kids at heart, right?

great drawings, Sep 6 2007

This book is nice not only for the drawing lesson but also for nostalgia and a bit of catching up on the Transformers universe.
Personally, I am a big fan of the early generation 1 characters (Season one and two primarily) and I was disappointed to see there were not enough drawings of them. It really is more nostalgia than instruction, because there isn't a lot of book for the price and I was expecting it to be be a little thicker, even for spiral bound.
That aside, there are some nice foldouts and tracing paper drawings of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron, and some nice drawings of Jazz and Prowl to name a few of the best.
Overall a worthwhile purchase if you love the Transformers and want to flex your creative skills.

Yes, you can draw using this guide, Jan 14 2008

Again, I got this for my 8 yr old son. First thing out of the box he drew a beautiful Optimus Prime. It's fantastic, 3D, colored well, and he's so proud of himself he could bust. So does it work? Yes, absolutely. If you have any artistic ability at all, this is a very good guide to start you on the path of drawing Transformers. The steps are clear, the resources in the book are excellent, it's a really well thought out and well done guide to drawing Transformers.
