Award-winning illustrator Gabriel Campanario first presented his approach to sketching in "The Art of Urban Sketching", an exhibition of over 500 sketches and drawing tips shared by more than 100 urban sketchers from around the world. Now, delve into the specific challenges of sketching on location, rain or shine, fast or slow, and the techniques best suited to each situation, in "The Urban Sketching Handbook" series. It is easy to overlook the wide variety of buildings and spaces and the differences from city to city, country to country.

From houses, flats and shopping centres to public buildings and places of worship, the structures that humans have created over the centuries, whether for shelter, commerce, industry, transport or recreation, are fascinating subjects to study and draw. In "The Urban Sketching Handbook: Architecture and Urban Landscapes", Gabriel presents keys to making the experience of drawing architecture and urban landscapes fun and rewarding. Using composition, depth, scale, contrast, line and creativity, drawing buildings and structures has never been more inspiring.

This guide will help you develop your own creative approach, no matter what your skill level is today. As much as "The Urban Sketching Handbook: Architecture and Urban Landscapes" can inspire you to draw more urban spaces, it can also help increase your appreciation for the built environment. Drawing the places where we live, work and play is a great way to show appreciation and creativity.
