Description
Two generations have been influenced by Lawrie Watts’ cutaway
drawings of motorcycles, motorcars, aircraft, Donald Campbell’s
Bluebird, Richard Noble’s Thrust, Richard
Branson’s epic hot air balloons and even farm machinery.
Long before CAD, the legendary Lawrie was drawing complex machinery
in amazing 3D detail. His meticulous, distinctive style draws us
into the picture, telling a story even though his brief had been
merely to draw the thing. Lawrie is not just an artist, he’s
a designer too. His Royal Enfield-powered Dreamliner looked just
right and was way ahead of its time.
This book provides a fascinating insight into Lawrie's problem-solving
through drawing. Anyone interested in how things work will enjoy
this voyage through the life, ideas and work of the perceptive
and inventive Mr Lawrence Watts.
