What an inspiring book. The sketches throughout are amazing and, yes, intimidating. However, this handbook covers such a wide breadth of topics that I think most people will be able to benefit from it. The experienced sketcher will have a comprehensive source of inspiration. The novice will be able to look at an ideal version of their goals as an artist and then select sections to work on an improve. From expressive use of color, to line weight and perspective, I want to try it all!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a brilliant book, it makes you want to grab your sketch book and go travelling. It includes a trip round the world in beautiful art work. I loved the format, mostly short tips, straight to the point and clearly demonstrated in the art illustration. I love the variation on styles and methods, and some of the pictures were amazing. I definitely want a hard copy of this book sitting on my art book shelf.

Be inspired with all the great sketches within from the author and a plethora of urban artists. I have been inspired to sketch by this author and several of the artists spotlighted in this book through classes I have taken from them.
Along with inspirational pictures, this book contains a lot of helpful tips on shading, lines, perspective, painting, brushes, plus more; all skills needed to help improve any sketch. I wish I had the paper copy to carry in my sketching/painting pack, it would be great to reference.
This book is full of tips to inspire me to grow with the skills needed to create a great sketch of the world around me. Yesterday, I did my first foray into drawing in a small local restaurant. I felt a little silly at first, but then, as I started drawing the scene, I became less self-conscience and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will be doing a lot more!
I received an electronic copy of this book through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is such an informative book for those who want to improve their sketching skills. I personally am not great at drawing so I look for books to help me improve my skills. This book is one of them!

I'm in love with this sketching handbook. It is filled with solid suggestions to improve your drawing techniques. Most of these sketches are beyond my skills but the techniques provided will give me plenty to focus on to improve my drawings. This book is a treasure for me and I plan to reference it from now on when I draw (or until I have mastered these lessons). I will definitely be looking for more from this author.
