Stephens offers guidance for imagining and drawing robots. Going beyond the standard how-to book, he encourages young artists to think about the kind of creature they want to invent. Starting with simple lines and shapes, he demonstrates how to build the figures (though the pages' busyness make the actual directions hard to follow). A few robot facts are included.
