Review by Booklist Review

The purpose of this book is twofold: it offers a basic introduction to drawing alongside fun trivia and appealing photographs of tanks, aircraft, warships, and research and surveillance vehicles. A brief explanation of the branches of the military provide context for each machine's main function. Twenty-five different subjects are depicted in step-by-step instructions that all utilize basic principles of drawing. Each tutorial is accompanied by dimensions, production details, and practical uses of the machine it depicts. If readers can form basic shapes, no tutorial is too difficult even for beginning sketchers, and each encourages artists to develop an eye for shape and form, with plenty of photographs of the vehicles in action. Mini-quiz questions reinforce key concepts, while interesting tidbits in the margins are perfect for military trivia buffs. All a reader needs is a pad, a sharp pencil, and a love of military history for this book in the Learn to Draw series to provide hours of engaging entertainment.--Anderson, Erin Copyright 2016 Booklist
