Hello and welcome to Sketching in the City. In this book, my goal is to make urban sketching feel achievable. We will use the vibrant bustling environment of the city to break free from the pressure of perfection, and lose the 'I'm not good enough' mindset. Through encouraging experimentation, and a focus on fundamentals, you'll find moments of magic to liberate your artistic style. Packed with diverse ideas and techniques, it's a guide to finding joy, confidence, and creativity in capturing the energy of city life.
