Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
The Urban Sketching Handbook

Perfect for you if...

You want a practical handbook you can keep beside you while drawing, with step-by-step instructions for specific techniques like blending with solvents and sgraffito.
You're ready to move beyond basic sketching and understand how to use complementary colours, composition, and mixed media effects to create more sophisticated work.
You draw portraits, still-life, or landscapes and need copyright-free reference images to work from without hunting online.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a book that teaches fine art theory or art history rather than practical, hands-on technique instruction.
You prefer learning through video tutorials or online courses over printed step-by-step guides and diagrams.
You work primarily with digital art or other mediums and have no interest in coloured pencils.

About this book

This reference guide provides step-by-step instructions for colored pencil drawing techniques, including blending, mark-making, and mixed media approaches. It covers tools, materials, and methods for drawing still-life subjects, holiday scenes, and portraits. The book includes a comprehensive guide to color and composition, a gallery of works by other artists, and a collection of copyright-free reference photographs. Techniques covered include hatching, blending, blending with solvents, impressing, sgraffito, and burnishing. Additional chapters address complementary colors, lightening and darkening colors, and composition principles. The hardcover edition measures 6.5 by 8 inches with wire-o binding. Interior photographs, illustrations, and diagrams support the instruction. The content is designed for both beginners and more experienced artists seeking to develop their skills.
