A good sketch starts with good bones. The fourth book in the Urban Sketching Handbook series uses drawings and simple steps to explain the often challenging and overwhelming concepts of perspective in practical and useful ways for on-site sketching. Most books are either too abstract or don't provide enough information that relates to what you actually do when you're out in the busy, wide world about to start a drawing. Where do you start? How do you edit what you see to flatten and shrink it onto your paper? How does perspective work? The Urban Sketching Handbook: Understanding Perspective helps you learn to think like an architect, to draw buildings and spaces by reducing what you see to simple, basic shapes, then adding layers in simple steps, and finally finishing your sketch with detail, tone, and color--in accurate perspective. Full of helpful tips, architect and illustrator, Stephanie Bower even de-constructs sketches to show you how to create them! Once you understand perspective, it will change the way you see the world--you'll see perspective everywhere. Some of the key concepts explored in this volume are: - Basic Terms - Basic Spatial Principles - Types of Perspective - Building a Sketch in Layers - Special Conditions… (mer)

#1 - Draw regularly.

#2 - Use references (and don't be ashamed of it);

#3 - Do studies (careful copies) of drawings you admire;

#4 - Try looking at the thing you're drawing as an abstract arrangement of shapes;

#5 - Pay attention to the level of contrast in your drawings: darks vs. lights;

#6 - Get your art supplies at a real art store;

#7 - Learn the three different systems of perspective;

#8 - Challenge yourself by drawing in different art styles;

#9 - Don't expect progress to occur in a matter of weeks, or even months;

#10- If comparing your art to that of other people is bringing you down, then stop doing it;

#11- Look at your old art in order to motivate yourself to improve. It also rather helps you feel accomplished when you have improved, which can lead to inspiration, and helps you see that all your works has been for something.

The #10 can be rephrased like this: “There is no right or wrong way to be an artist, only a right or wrong way for the individual in question” or as the Sentinel Class Skylander Sensei Ember puts it, “When you aim for perfection, you’ll discover it’s a moving target!”

The greatest mistake people make with drawing is assuming that they will be good at it the moment they try because it's a skill that is very visual. Of course, as with any skill, it's rarely the case. They try to draw but find it hard and the regular comments come out like "this is impossible", "I can't draw", "why is drawing so hard?" etc. In reality drawing is a skill, it's no different to playing a sport or learning a language - you improve over time the more you practice as you demonstrated in your 100 days. That's why I believe anyone can draw even if it seems one of the hardest skills to learn for those who believe they can't.

Bower’s book is the definite tome for those of us who really want to understand perspective when applied to Urban Sketching.

Some of my stuff as I read it:

Het eerste boek over perspectief dat ik wel uitlees. Zegt dat genoeg? Goede koppeling theorie-praktijk. Vlot uitgelegd. Veel beeldmateriaal. ( )

Clear instructions on a challenging subject; steps broken down clearly to get you started on using perspective in sketching. Some of the pics too small to easily see details of instructions. Overall, a great addition to an art library. ( )

This book has a lot of good advice, instruction, samples and diagrams. ( )
