7 Elements of Urban Sketching are the basic building blocks of any artwork. Sketchers can arrange these elements to create visually interesting sketches.

These seven elements are:

• Lines: They can be used to create movement, direction, and emphasis.

• Space: They are the areas around and between the elements of a design.

• Shapes: They are two-dimensional forms that can be geometric or organic.

• Forms: They are three-dimensional shapes that can be solid or void.

• Texture: They refer to the smoothness or roughness of a surface.

• Value: They refer to the lightness or darkness of a colour.

• Colour: They can be used to create mood, atmosphere, and contrast.

This book will cover the basics and provide you with examples to design your own sketches.
