My dad loved it!! Says it was very informative and awesome! Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I grew up reading Popular Science, Hot Rod, Motor Trend and lots of other magazines. It was the golden age of those publications. Magazine stands were popular and profitable. In the course of this, I had, I suppose, seen a number of examples of cutaway art. If I had given it a thought, I guess I would have assumed that someone with a lot of talent had produced them. Perhaps using a drawing board and the other things found in my one high school Industrial Arts class. David Kimble’s Cutaways: Techniques & Stories Behind the Art disabused me of that foolish notion. It was a little bit of a slow process. The photo and film work described in this book were new to me and took careful reading. I also spend a hell of a lot of time looking at the pictures. Everything from cars and motorcycles to cruise ships and factories is shaved open for an inside look. I hauled out my magnifying glass for some of these. If you can get away from the Starship Enterprise cutaway in less than ten minutes there is something bad wrong with you. I started out well with the descriptions of drawings in chapter one. Chapter two brought out the airbrushes and moved away from anything that I was familiar with. I became completely lost with the introduction of film positives. But I persisted and, in the end, learned quite a bit and along the way was hugely entertained. Each chapter adds a bit toward the story of forty years learning and practicing a highly skilled trade. It is a wonderful journey and one that I recommend highly. I came away from this fine book having learned a bit and enjoyed a lot. You cannot ask more than that of a volume. A free copy of this book was provided for the purpose of review. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. David Kimble is a freaking legend. I grew up marveling over his art in Road & Track magazine. What we have here is a detailed description, in his own words, of how he makes his art. This is a great book. It's published by CarTech who are well known for their very well produced and built books. The illustrations are vivid and the writing is very detailed and well thought out. My only complaints are that the captions can be a bit long and redundant, often covering the same territory that was covered in the text. Also, I was expecting more art and less text. Not that the text is unwelcomed, it's just that I could look at Kimble's cutaway art all day. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Technically impressive book showing all sorts of cool car cutaways. While I don't consider myself a gearhead, I'm still able to appreciate the intricacies of the drawings and illustrations. I also enjoyed reading the backend stories behind the drawings and seeing all of the steps that are involved in the process. They are... simply amazing.I'm not certain how applicable this is for everyone, but for any engineer or anyone interested in automobiles, this is highly recommended. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
For enthusiasts reading magazines such as Motor Trend, Road & Track, and others, David Kimble is no stranger. His brilliant cutaway artwork has been gracing the pages of those publications for years. Whether he illustrated engines, transmissions, full-car chassis, sports cars, race cars, or classics, his cutaway artwork revealed, in excruciating detail, things that a camera lens could never capture. In David Kimble's Cutaways: The Techniques and the Stories Behind the Art, Kimble reveals the secrets, techniques, procedures, and the dedication to craft that is required to produce these amazing illustrations. He covers the step-by-step procedures while producing fresh artwork for this book featuring a McLaren Can-Am car as well as a vintage Harley-Davidson. Although the procedures covered here are unique to Kimble, and pretty much a pipe dream to mere mortals, this title provides an inside look into how he does it. Also included are the stories and tales of how it all started, traveling the world to illustrate cars, behind the scenes with manufacturers, the Corvette years, as well as a gallery of many illustrations. Never before has David Kimble provided a look into his cutaway "skunkworks," or shared the procedures for bringing these beautiful technical illustrations to life. This book is a must-have for any automotive or art fan. This book is a 2015 International Automotive Media Competition (IAMC) Gold Medal Winner and Best of Books Winner.

David's cutaways were always special - highly detailed air-brush illustrations of my favorite cars, with sections "cut away" so you could see the guts - going all the way into the mechanicals. This was back in the days when we didn't have access to high speed computing and 3D models - at least not at the consumer level. To achieve this level of technical detail you not only had to be a competent artist, but an Engineer (if not in degree, at least in mindset) so you could look at photos and blueprints to achieve the cutaway effect. Kimble's acumen is unparalleled in this regard.
The book is extremely well printed - this isn't your typical computer direct-to-print you see these days - these are highly refined printed reproductions - each could be a print in itself. I loved the discussion of techniques, the detailed sketches and the entire process detailed in this book. This is a basic must-have if you're into cars, airbrush illustration and super-realistic detail. ( )
