Rating:  Summary: Wow! Review: What a great book. He goes through all the important aspects gradually, and shows you how to draw perspectives, detail, how to emphasize certain features, and just about anything you need to know. The examples rock hard, and he really does a great job of getting you started on drawing mecha. A great book, hands down.Now go buy it!
Rating:  Summary: Great How To Book Review: What I love about this book is the pencil drawings that show the early versions of the finished full color drawings. I have spent many hours with this book and I think that is the reason why. It has kept me motivated and believing that with a step-by-step approach outlined by the author, I can draw Mecha objects.
Rating:  Summary: No help at all Review: What is the point of this book? Each of the drawings gives just three steps, and the beginning step is very complex--there is no help in figuring out what basic shapes go into it, and it seems like the only thing you can do is copy exactly what the author has done. I wanted something that would teach me to draw this type of character, and instead I just got a book showing off the author's drawings. If it is supposed to be just a showcase, it should be called that--don't try to fool people into thinking it is a way to learn anything.
