Welcome to a demonstration of Urban Sketching for Beginners. This simple step by step demonstration allows you just to see the process I use or, ideally, down load the reference material and have a sketch along with me.

Beginning your urban sketching journey can be intimidating but so much fun. Even though the learning curve is steep its the most fun.
There is plenty of help for you here in my Urban Sketching Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEginfAahscLya6rmS6dZv3dfa2q20fJA&feature=shared
Urban Sketching requires minimal equipment and therefore is a very accessible for newbies. It is essentially not only a reflection of your landscape but also what it means to be within the fabric of it. You can include the people, the street furniture and interpret those details any way you want. The sketchbook is a playground. It can also be a very sociable art form with urban sketching groups in most cities.
