The Traveling Sketcher: City

Learn to Draw Your Travel Memories

Learn the building blocks of drawing cityscapes – bricks, trees, roads, windows, railings, tiles – to recreate everyday scenes from your travels.

With Alice’s clear step-by-step instructions, you’ll develop the skills to create memory-filled sketchbook pages, as you capture the atmosphere of any trip in your drawings.

With inspiration from major cities such as Barcelona, Tokyo and Amsterdam, you can either sketch from photographs or real life, taking your learnings with you wherever you go. As well as using iconic spots like La Sagrada Familia to teach techniques, The Traveling Sketcher will also encourage you to observe everyday moments: bustling markets, washing on a line, trees in a park, street views from a quiet coffee shop.

Using a limited palette of 5 colours to show you can still create incredibly striking and vivid scenes with minimal resources, this book travels with you, helping to personalise your trips. It is the ultimate guide to sketching on the go!
