Inhaltsangabe
The pages of this book are as busy as the streets it portrays.
The city never sleeps and there's always something going on - there are buildings, shapes, colours, people, cars and so much more and Thomas Thorsprecken immerses himself joyously in it.
You're never stuck for a subject in a city and this is a book that brims over with ideas and inspiration - in fact, sometimes it takes your breath away!
Loosely arranged as a series of short lessons, it will guide you through composition, perspective, people and buildings, while at the same time sketching, sketching and sketching, manipulating shapes and colours and capturing elusive moments that pass in the blink of an eye. It's a process not so much of learning as of absorption.
The city is often overlooked as a subject for art, but it's an exciting place and this is an exciting book that will change your mind for ever.

Mar 14 Sharpen your pencils, circulate and sketch. This complete guide gives you the basic skills and more to capture scenes from daily life. Includes tools and techniques, going urban, populating your world, choosing a subject. All you need to know to sketch anywhere. The book has an almost cartoon strip look to it and there is too much on each page for my taste but it certainly is packed full of useful information. You'll see different styles of work from over 40 contributing artists, yet the work is cohesive and unified. Lots of tips, techniques and different media and approaches. Many examples of work but this is not a how-to or step by step book. * Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts * December 2014 It's a brave publisher who brings out a book on painting in towns. However, if you were ever in any doubt about just how much fun there is to be had on those mean streets, this will dispel your qualms. There are buildings, people, shapes, colours and just Things Going On. The city never sleeps. Thomas Thorspecken is Thor of the blog Analog Artist Digital World (www.analogartistdigitalworld.com), which will give you a handy preview of what to expect from this book and, I hope,convert you. His style is loose, conveying movement, character and colour, rooted - but not stuck - in reality and involves the viewer like a widescreen film. The book is actually arranged as a series of short lessons including composition, perspective, people and buildings, but you may never notice that, as every page is busy and intriguing in its vitality, interpretation and detail - Henry Malt. * Artist, The * Apr 14 Well this is fun! Townscapes can be a hard sell, but this busy book records the city at work, at play and in all its moods. The author is Thor of the blog Analog Artist Digital World and he records life as it reels past his eye. The book mainly consists of pages from his sketchbooks, with a text that explains what he's doing and what to look for, along with useful advice on colours, as well as perspective, viewpoints and so on. There's a lot going on on every page and Thomas also draws on the styles of other artists, designers and illustrators in the Urban Sketchers movement. If this appeals to you, it's also probably something you're already doing and you may even have discovered Thomas's work already. If you thought the city was something to escape from, think again and have a look. Whatever it is you most like to paint, the city will provide it. * Artbookreview.net * Mar 14 The title certainly doesn't lie. A warm, attractive cover invites the reader to join the new breed of artists, those whose work is the sketch, not just the pre requisite for some carefully orchestrated piece later on. In four chapters, he shows the equipment and materials he uses, how the technical things like perspective and composition work and why it matters, a clear approach to putting in people and animals and finally on choosing subjects with plenty of visual ideas on what can be done. He has roped in the work of 46 other urban sketchers, so there are loads of ways of working to inspire. If you have little experience of location work, this book is a great read to get fired up. Alternatively, if you've been at it for years, there are loads of insights into the habits of other artists, all of which could confirm your own suspicions or addictions. His coverage on perspective is excellent. It is a common sense approach, not a tedious course in technical drawing. There are people who prefer to understand before they create, and those who have to create in order to understand. I think Thorspecken has managed to cover both in one hit. Good sketches don't appear as if by magic. The book shows what goes on behind the scenes and that with a desire to learn from experience and mistakes, much is achievable. There is a lot of work in here by some very able people but remember they only got there because they went out and did it. At the end of the day, you can only draw how you draw. And any artist can only share what they do. As Thorspecken says "Learn what works best for you." At 128 pages, it is fat enough to be of use and thin enough not to lose the will to live. Evelyn Rowland, a London Urban Sketcher http://www.evelynrowland.blogspot.co.uk/ the south woodford village gazette * Customer * Mar 14 The first thing you notice about the sketches is how 'alive' they feel and draw you into the atmosphere and feel of the original artists. There is a vibrancy and modern feel to the book that the traditional art book can lose at times. The tips it gives are handy and can persuade the reluctant to pick up a sketchbook and just have a go. As a graphic designer and concept art lecturer this book gave me an insight into the urban sketchers. To a few of my learners I asked to have a look at the book it gave a sense of movement they related to with their own concept art work being used to then model in 3D. Now if only it would stop raining I might be persuaded to go outside and draw. * Marian Carr, Bradford College *
