The Urban Sketching Handbook: Techniques for Beginners: How to Build a Practice for Sketching on Location by Suhita Shirodkar

informative medium-paced

4.0

This book is filled with helpful information that should be helpful for anyone starting out with sketching locations or drawing people. Besides providing simple ways to start and simplify objects around us into more basic shapes (for ease of drawing and so it isn't all that overwhelming). There are also basic information about form, colour and perspective. What I really liked are the different examples from many different artists that are laid out and explained so that a clearer picture is given on what the author is going on about. Although overall, this book is not much different from many other art resources out there, when considering it on its own, it is a good, simple start for beginners.
