    Archisketcher is a wonderful book on urban sketching that focuses on architecture.There are lots of techniques, beautiful sketches and inspiration. Sketchers who find depicting architecture to be challenging should find this book accessible with all the simple drawing tips.The book covers five areas, namely composition, the approach, perspective, color and viewpoints. It covers the what, how and where to draw. The text are accompanied by wonderful examples from prominent artists and sketchers, such as from James Richard, Nina Johansson, Shari Blaukopf, Ch'ng Kiah Kiean, Tia Boon Sim, and even the author Simone Ridyard herself, and many more. It's a delight to look at the different styles and beautiful renditions of scenes from around the world.While there are no step-by-step instructions, the techniques explained are still easy to apply.The book also has several spotlights on architectural styles, such as the different between columns, history of buildings and cities, roof profiles and other interesting architecture features. Also featured are selected iconic landmarks that are given a two-page spread treatment with contributions of art and text by several artists.For those who want inspiration and techniques, this is the book to get. Highly recommended. It's a fantastic resource.(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

    Colorful Gem
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2015*

This is seriously good! The book size and feel are nice. The color is outstanding. The book is laid out very well. Every page is an "ooh ah" gem. There are no filler pages. For a practical workbook, this is more geared towards experienced sketchers. I just got the book, but so far, I have not seen beginner info. I did see use of a viewfinder. Most of the help is "general". "It's helps to have an understanding of architecture". In ways it is like a docent taking you on a museum tour and pointing out why the painting is so noteworthy. It is a WONDERFUL, remarkable book. I just want to make sure beginners realize they may not be able to take this book and run. If you are a beginner readin this, I would suggest you get also Urban Sketcher by Marc Taro Holmes. I actually bought these two together. He has plenty for the beginner. He also has two Craftsy classes right now. I highly recommend them as well as a blog.

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017*

This is a pretty good book for introducing entry level urban sketchers to the various ways sketchers view and represent the world. I like how the sketches have been organized in a topical fashion to content and style. Having shared it with my students in a recent workshop I found that while I could often look at one of the many excellent examples and easily parse the technique that had been used, novices were looking for a bit more "meat." The recurring comment I heard was, "but HOW did they do that?" So, a good book with good examples and well categorized, but not a "how to."
