Carefully designed exercises guide you step by step in effective sketching in the studio and in the field. Also covered are helpful topics such as useful equipment, observation skills, framing and editing sketches, rendering people, and keeping a journal. An array of the author’s lively sketches as well as examples from other architectural professionals fill the pages of Freehand Sketching, making this an ideal handbook for architecture and design students and all who wish to be more effective at visual communication. Review: Freehand Sketching - If you are interested in sketching, lack confidence or are unsure where to start, then consider buying this book. It offers sound basic advice that is not over-whelming, delivered in a helpful/constructive way, does not get you to complete pointless exercises, and does not tell you to buy a myriad of art materials from specific suppliers. The author is a trained architect (whom I have found are much better at explaining/demonstrating sketching techniques than many artists). We all like different styles and approaches so it may not be for you. However, if you find it useful you should also consider its companion book: Watercolour Sketching An Introduction. In short both of these books provide everything you need to know about 'getting started in sketching'. Review: gd - small yet handy bk, but looks quite useful! it's handy and easy to carry and teach u step by step how to draw! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,073,200 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7,533 in Drawing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 121 Reviews | ## Images ![Freehand Sketching: An Introduction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OSwAyqgUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Freehand Sketching *by D***S on 11 October 2012* If you are interested in sketching, lack confidence or are unsure where to start, then consider buying this book.

Practical advice about how to sketch is seeded with some of the most intelligent and perceptive writing about the nature of drawing. Set out in the format of a Carnet de Voyage, a traveler's sketchbook, it is filled with wonderful sketches and exercises. The writing about drawing is as wise and compelling as are the sketches. As one returning to freehand sketching, I found this book a gem of concise advice on the 'how' and a highly articulate discussion of the 'why' of freehand sketching. Pack this book along with your pad and pencil and go sketching. ## Frequently Bought Together - Freehand Sketching - Design Drawing - Architectural Graphics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/61556850-freehand-sketching-an-introduction](https://www.desertcart.at/products/61556850-freehand-sketching-an-introduction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
