Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2007
I bought the book for the title sack, "Learn how to draw military." Sadly the book only shows drawn pictures of military aircraft and a few tanks and does not explain how to draw them. There are no set up techniques, steps, or anything. There are only pre-drawn pictures, which makes this book good only for references. However, I was impressed with the large number of military units covered. The book covers aircraft from the Second World War to the present and even lists some technical facts about the airplanes, helicopters, and jets. Like how much horsepower a P-51 Mustang can max out, or how many models of Japanese Zero's there were by the war's end. Even the companies who manufactured the engines for the planes are listed. All in all if you like drawing military this book will make a wonderful reference source, however if you are trying to learn how to draw military vehicles look for a different book.

For drawing various guns, accouterment, mechanics of combat planes andwarships we introduce the essentials for developing a basic knowledge. Apartfrom the trove of knowledge and data that makes up the pictorial materials,there are the basics of character types and story concepts. Not only will thisvolume become the artist's brave ally, but it will also be enjoyed as readingmaterial and a fountain of knowledge.

Shelves: artsy-tartsy
This book contains mostly already finished illustrations of certain vehicles, so there isn't really much of a how-to-draw element. I also noticed the art seems similar to famous pictures of the vehicle or scale model kit boxart, so I suspect the artist is a modeler. The drawings also look similar to illustrations of vehicles in Tamiya instructions. However, the drawings are very well-made. This is a reference mainly on how existing vehicles are drawn in line art form.

This is a reference mainly on how existing vehicles are drawn in line art form. I am disappointed though that certain favorite vehicles, like the P-47 Thunderbolt and the M-60 tank, were left out. Perhaps it's because the kits for these were not yet released. But I like looking through it, if only to be awed by military vehicles in line art form. ...more
