The 7 Elements of Urban Sketching
Master the fundamentals of Urban Sketching
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.
