Sure this is not for beginners, you need atleast a little skill in drawing/sketching. Then you can use this book as reference in your own projects.
While it was not beginner friendly, still its really great for brain storming. Ideas and examples shown in this book are great. Few robo designs are truly eye catching. Few of these drawings, make you feel as if… drawing robots is very simple, while its not, without practice.
Thanks to the author for such a great book and thanks to amazon for such low price.

Great book for collection. the artist gives you permission to use this for yourself. And takes you from robot to robot by different types giving you examples of why to make what changes. A great learning tool for beginner robot builders. Even if you are not building or drawing robots you may understand what there is to understand better. I had read it in the library but I would rather have it than not have it. It’s part of my personal collection now.

I really liked this book when I bought it 5 years ago. It had cute and excellent robots to practice drawing for my toy robot business. I am a designer and it was fairly useful to use as a reference to different Ideas. Has big pictures and instructions that are relatively clear. I do not know if it would be good for a very beginner artist but nonetheless it worked for me! I still own this book.

this had alot more pics of some pretty cool robots and what they would look like today and in the past..I really dug the war robots both past and present but then there are a few that are more “george jetson” type ots like the “Assitant” and a few others..its a pretty good book..least it inspires the imagination to come up with a drawing or two of your own robots working off what this book offers…all in all..prob find better or just as good ideas in Epic or Heavy metal magazines off Ebay

Unlike practically any drawing book on the market, this one breaks down the robot into basic shapes. Practice drawing basic shapes over and over and you can draw anything. I should know. I did it.

Almost a map that allows the reader to navigate manga and 50’s science fiction. Learning to artistically present relevant characters is a huge part of the authors’ program.
