Urban sketching - Dopress Books

Both designers and illustrators have a special attachment to sketching, as it is not just a way of training basic skills and sourcing inspirations, but also a top method for recording their footprints and thoughts along the way. Living in different cities, these artists take us on a virtual artistic journey around the world through their sketches. One of the highlights of the book is that each piece of sketching work is complemented by background information including places, tools and materials, a brief introduction to the site, time span used for the creation, as well as a one-sentence tip summarizing skills and thoughts drawn from the creation process. The artists also share with the readers the tools and techniques they prefer to use. Through their works and professional advice, the readers will certainly gain rich expertise.
