  • Reviews: "A budding artist or regular doodler may feel inspiration strike while perusing The Urban Sketchbook, in which illustrator Sergi Cámara identifies social media as the force behind a rise in awareness of the long and influential history of sketching. Now that so many artists are posting their sketches and daily drawing exercises online, more people are getting inspired to pick up pen and paper and give it a try. Cámara looks at sketching as both a journalistic practice and an art form. He explains popular drawing techniques-- with illustrations from actual artists' sketchbooks--while giving plenty of attention to different styles such as natural, realist, humorous and abstract. Though it is less of a straightforward how-to than some other drawing manuals, The Urban Sketchbook includes an educational overview of the available materials and other helpful tips to get creative juices flowing." -- BookPage
