The award-winning illustrator Gabriel Campanario initially presented his approach to drawing in The Art of Urban Sketching, a collection of more than 500 sketches and drawing tips from over 100 urban sketchers worldwide. Now, he delves into specific challenges of creating on-location sketches, rain or shine, quickly or slowly, and the most suitable techniques for each situation, in the series The Urban Sketching Handbook.
The variations in buildings and spaces, as well as the differences from city to city and from country to country, are often overlooked. From houses, apartments, and shopping centers to public buildings and religious spaces, the structures created by humans over the centuries are fascinating subjects for study and sketching. In The Urban Sketching Handbook: Architecture and Cityscapes, Gabriel provides strategies that make the process of drawing architecture and urban landscapes enjoyable and satisfying.
Using composition, depth, scale, contrast, line, and creativity, the drawing of buildings and structures has never been more inspiring. This guide will help you develop your own creative approach, regardless of your current skill level. The more The Urban Sketching Handbook: Architecture and Cityscapes inspires you to draw more urban spaces, the more it can enhance your appreciation of the built environment. Drawing the places where we live, work, and play is a great way to express our appreciation and creativity.
