Quick Draw Urban Landscapes: Step-by-Step Masterpieces: By Sarah Wimperis (Paperback)

Description:

Quick Draw Urban Landscapes is a beginner's guide to drawing urban landscapes. No prior knowledge of drawing is required, although having basic drawing skills would be beneficial. The book uses photo references for practice; however, not all are provided. You can either just follow along with the step-by-step pictures, or just look for your own references online, or if you're daring enough, go outdoors and draw.

The book starts off by introducing the different drawing tools and materials you can use. The examples featured use all sorts of media, such as pencil, pens, dip pens, watercolor, pastels, and oil, and there's one example of drawing with your tablet. You can really just use any media you have unless you want to follow it strictly.

The lessons and examples are loose and lively renditions of urban landscapes and scenes. There are subjects like farmers markets, rooftops, statues at a square, courtyards, streets, windows, and shops. Some drawings are rough, while others can be quite detailed. Overall, the examples and techniques aren't really technical, so there's no pressure to make yours look exactly the same. The step-by-step pictures show the process, so you can get an idea of how to start and what to do next.
