The Urban Sketching Handbook 

Tips and Techniques for Drawing on Location

A 3-book series by publisher Quarry

• Reportage and Document Drawing by Veronica Lawlor
• Architecture and Cityscapes by Gabriel Campanario
• People and Motion by Gabriel Companario

A convenient 5” x 8” backpack size, these three handbooks could very well serve as the cornerstone of your library. Lawlor and Campanario are very accomplished artists who have the talent to motivate with their exuberant styles and richly illustrated instructions on many aspects of sketching.
