I know when I’ve gone out into town to start doing urban sketching my mind can go a bit blank. I don’t know where to walk to, which area to start in, what to look for. Sometimes sketching comes naturally but sometimes I need some aims and objectives…a mission if you will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My list below offers some ideas to sketch along with some examples from urban sketchers. I hope this will help to inspire you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s nothing more fun that sketchbook spreads featuring a series of interrelated items or the same item drawn in a different way. Or just a few pages reflecting the time you spent walking around town or dropping into the local cafe for a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your sketchbook is a record of your day, your travels, your life. It’s your visual journal and it’s your playground. Forget about perfect illustrations (I am so guilty of trying to strive for this) and just get out and play. Make a mess and have fun. Enjoyment is the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
