A few months ago my buddy Logar showed me his new Hot Rod Sketch book he received as a gift.  After  a few minutes of flipping through the pages I new I had to get a copy.  Here at the Fetish we are huge fans of automotive art and sketching, hence last years Rendered Hope Charity Calendar we put together.

Since I first viewed the book Twitter has really taken off for CDf and Dwayne Vance began following us.  Little did I realize this was the author of The Hot Rod Art Book I grew a fetish for.  Now CDf  has a copy of this awesome sketch book of Hot Rod Art.

The book consist of artwork from Dwayne Vance as well as tutorials included on a cd.  Dwayne has had a great career in design working for Troy Lee Designs, Hot Wheels and his own company Future Elements.  There are also 12 other top notch Hot Rod Artist and Designers including Larry Wood, Thom Taylor and Max Grundy to name a few.  There is a great variety of work and styles combined into one hell of a coffee table book.

Hit the jump to view a teaser video and more information….and come back next week for an exclusive interview with Dwayne Vance!

The tutorials are also in depth.  They range from how to draw wheels in perspective, to 3/4 views and photoshop renderings.   There is even a section showing how Vance does sketches on his Nintendo DS.  They are pretty sweet especially when you think of how small the screen is.

We highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys car art and especially hot rod enthusiasts.  Check out this video showing some samples from the tutorials.
