INTRODUCTION <\/h3>\n

WHAT IS URBAN SKETCHING? <\/p>\n

Urban sketching is drawing on location from direct observation. Most urban sketchers work in sketchbooks. These books become stories told over time. They hold memories and meaning, a visual record of sketchers\u2018 lives and the world around them. Sounds complicated? It isn\u2019t! You\u2019re an urban sketcher if you record what you see: simple objects from your everyday life, landscapes or cityscapes, people in caf\u00e9s and on the streets. Your sketches can be simple pencil or pen drawings or they might include color. They could be quick little sketches with notes. They\u2019re all urban sketches. <\/p>\n

STARTING OUT <\/p>\n

Pens, pencils, paints, sketchbooks, and a zillion other products. Who doesn\u2019t love playing with them all? But the choices can get overwhelming. And too large a kit actually makes urban sketching a more complicated endeavor than it should be. If you think about it, you really need only two things to sketch: a surface to draw on and a tool to make marks with. Keep it simple and focus on learning to see. <\/p>\n

WHAT TO SKETCH: OBJECTS <\/p>\n

The objects you interact with every day, big or small, might seem mundane to you at first. But take a closer look at them: Do they tell a story? Are they interesting to sketch? Are they particular to a place? Do they hold a special meaning for you? Any of these reasons makes them worth sketching. Add a little bit of context to the objects you draw, tell a story in words to go with your sketch, and you have an urban sketch. <\/p>\n

WHAT TO SKETCH: PLACES <\/p>\n

Landscapes and cityscapes are words that make us think of sweeping vistas and detailed scenes. But capturing a sense of place does not always have to be grand. Sometimes the smallest little corner of a scene holds more meaning than the big view. <\/p>\n

\n \"5\"\"5\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

WHAT TO SKETCH: PEOPLE <\/p>\n

One of the most overlooked aspects of urban sketching is drawing people. We often draw urban environments designed for use by people, but not the people that occupy them. People in urban sketches can be as simple as silhouetted shapes or they may be more articulated with faces and features and actions and gestures. Drawing people is about drawing human stories that tell of places and of cultures, of what makes us unique and what we share in common. <\/p>\n

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve looked at drawing objects, places, and people in the three preceding sections. In the best of urban sketching, the three come together seamlessly to record the world around us. Bringing together myriad elements requires understanding their relationship to each other and using compositional tools for visual clarity. In this section, we\u2019ll explore some of these concepts and look at how different sketchers make choices to tell their story. <\/p>\n
