The Art of City Sketching: A Field Manual guides the reader through the process of free-hand architectural sketching and explains orthographic, diagrammatic, three-dimensional, and perceptual-type drawings. As an architect and field sketching instructor, Michael Abrams shows that through drawing the reader can learn to observe, analyze, and comprehend the built environment.
The new edition of The Art of City Sketching expands on the drawing techniques of the previous version by adding drawing examples, exercises and two chapters-- Chiaroscuro and Storyboard. New illustrations, drawing tips, demonstrations, and composition “do’s and don’ts” support readers when they illustrate their viewpoint of the city by using simple drawing tools. The lessons in this book allow those with beginners, intermediate and advanced skills to mix method with imagination and sensibility.
