One of the keys to a successful urban sketch is drawing elements in perspective. Perspective is a fundamental skill in drawing in which we can make objects on a 2D surface appear 3D<\/strong>. This makes the results of learning perspective super satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most urban sketchers are not slaves to perspective. We are not architectural illustrators for example (although many urban sketchers do come from the field of architecture).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban sketchers won\u2019t generally map out their sketch with perspective lines converging at the vanishing points as it takes away from the \u2018sketching in the moment\u2019 vibe and perhaps the looser feeling some sketchers want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are exceptions to everything, of course. Check out urban sketcher Stephanie Bower<\/strong> – she does<\/em> usually start with some light perspective lines. Her sketches are usually quite accurate in regards to perspective but guess what – she IS<\/strong> actually an architectural illustrator as well as an urban sketches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
