Draw 50 is Great January 8, 2009
This is the fourth drawing book I have purchased by Lee J. Ames. These are definitely the best drawing books available for kids. I have given several as gifts, and they are always well-loved. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, not too challenging, and have great results. Any of the "Draw 50" books are excellent, it just depends on what you're looking for. Great for kids, and beginning artists. Not too detailed, and yet still very nice pictures and hours of fun.
A great way to start drawing planes. December 25, 2008
Lee J. Ames does a good job of helping you learn to draw aircraft in 'Draw 50 airplanes, aircraft and spacecraft' book. I've tried to draw planes before but they looked, well, bad! Now that I've been following the step by step instructions, I've been drawing a lot better! 5 stars from me. A really good book! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to draw aircraft.
Drawing airplanes is easy & challenging October 21, 2008
My son has really enjoyed this book - he works with Dad and they have learned quite a bit about drawing aircraft!

Great book for the budding artist who loves aircrafts! Each one is fairly easy and helps them to be creative even outside of the book. Highly recommend.
 Ever had an airplane sketch "trapped" inside you? March 9, 1998

Draw 50 Airplanes has been around for a while. I'm glad that it is still in print. Wish it had been around when I was a kid, doodling airplanes. A bunch of my favorites are there: Sopwiths, P-40s, Spitfires, F-86 Sabres, P-38s. Hopefully, someday, there will be a revised edition that can capture some late arrivals to the first century of flight that today's kids really like- the Space Shuttle, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk. There are dozens of "how to sketch", "how to draw" titles out there. This is not one of those books. This book skips the nuances of perspective and the agony of descriptive geometry. It is not about fine art... it is not about drafting... When you sign a note to a friend, did you ever want to be able to add a quick Spitfire with a flourish? One that someone else thinks looks like a Spitfire? Or how about a sketch of the Wright Flyer? This is THAT kind of a book. This is about the serious business of producing a happy characture of the airplane that dances in your head. It will egg you on until you pick up a pencil and make an airplane appear on the page. It will help you perfect that skill. A curved line here, a pair of straight lines there. One pencil stroke at a time. And it obviously wasn't written just for kids. This book can help just about anyone create some really neat airplane doodles. Who knows what comes from that... So many rich experiences in life depend on having some early successes, the hopeful satisfaction that causes you to press onward... J. Campbell Martin
