Award-winning illustrator Gabriel Campanario first introduced
his approach to drawing in "The Art of Urban Sketching," a showcase
of more than 500 sketches and drawing tips shared by more than 100
urban sketchers around the world. Now, he drills down into specific
challenges of making sketches on location, rain or shine, quickly
or slowly, and the most suitable techniques for every situation, in
"The Urban Sketching Handbook" series.
It's easy to overlook that ample variety of characters that walk
the streets everyday. From neighbors, dog walkers and shoppers to
dancers and joggers, the people that move through the cities and
towns are fascinating subjects to study and sketch. In "The Urban
Sketching Handbook: People and Motion" Gabriel lays out keys to
help make the experience of drawing humans and movements fun and
rewarding. Using composition, depth, scale, contrast, line and
creativity, sketching out citizens and the way they move has never
been more inspirational and entertaining. This guide will help you
to develop your own creative approach, no matter what your skill
level may be today. As much as "The Urban Sketching Handbook:
People and Motion" may inspire you to draw more individuals, it can
also help to increase your appreciation of the folks around you.
Drawing our postal workers, shopkeeps and neighbors, is a great way
to show your appreciation and creativity.
