What would be some good books to pick up to start learning how to draw cars? I'm going to Hobby Lobby sometime soon and didn't know if they had any there, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

''how to draw cars like a pro'' by thom taylor....DEFFINATELY:iceslolan
DR.AK, i never bough that book. i looked through it, but decided that it was not good enough for my "exacting standards". it seemd simplistic compared to thom taylors book. thats just my oppinion. im sure asaenz will have alot to say about this

it may be, but for complete beginners it's good, i think :)

Hello,
These are the books I like.
How to draw Lifelike Portraits from Photographs. By Lee Hammond
A great book for using blending tools and grid techniques, sorry no cars but this stuff applies to cars.
How to draw cars like a pro by Thom Taylor, (folks already mentioned)
A good book but as some have mentioned not always detailed, probably a good book to get after Lee's book
Drawing Realistic textures in Pencil by J.D. Hillberry
Not for begginers but very very good.
Please try to get them from your library first to save some money. Or review them them before you buy. READ Simdel1's post and links.
In my opinion there really is no complete book, you have to pull from many.
Finally for peops who have problems drawing acurately. This book is probably the most beneficial single book you could buy, BUT very indepth and requires dedication to get through.
The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (2nd Ed) by Dr Betty Edwards.
Every library I think has that book (Betty Edwards)
I have all the books listed above; If I were to buy any it would be Hillberry's and Taylor's books and then check out the rest from the library.
