A time when everyday life becomes exciting!
Let's pick up a pen and draw a line on the paper,
My own urban sketch begins.

Urban sketching is a special recording method that involves seeing with your eyes and feeling with your body on site.
There are more and more people trying urban sketching, which can be started right away with just a pen and a sketchbook.
However, before actually drawing a picture, there are many cases where people do not know which tool to use and are worried about drawing the wrong line, so they cannot start.
I've tried urban sketching a few times, but I've given up because I can't figure out what's wrong with the awkward drawing, or I'm afraid of ruining the drawing by using watercolors, so I can't move on to the coloring stage.

For those who are having difficulty getting started with urban sketching, artist Limo has published "Urban Sketching Starting Today."
The book covers the basics of sketching, including urban sketching tools and how to use them, drawing lines, finding the center of a drawing, and adding color.
Additionally, practical exercises are provided to help you practice drawing step by step according to each theory.
If you want to try drawing right away, you can cut out the special pages at the back of the book and use them.
The author's tips are included throughout the practice, so don't miss them as they will be key points for bringing out the details and quality of your drawings.
To fully utilize this book, you should pay attention to the "How to Use This Book" section, which includes a shared cloud of practical materials from the book and QR codes for the author's YouTube video lectures.
By following the carefully structured materials and content for beginners, you will soon be able to capture special moments in your everyday life in your own urban sketches.

〉 Part 1 introduces ‘Understanding Urban Sketching’ and ‘Tools’ before starting drawing.
〉 Part 2 is about practicing how to draw ‘lines’ and expressing buildings, landscapes, and alleyways using only lines.
〉 Part 3 will help you bring the atmosphere of the scene to life by omitting or effectively adding ‘color’.
〉 Part 4 is about observing ‘people’ and drawing standing people, sitting people, and groups of people with natural proportions.
〉 Special pages include practice drawings printed in light lines within the text so that you can draw along right away.

Traveling and painting became my profession.
Having visited numerous cities, I have learned how to deeply observe and delicately respond to space.
Although I am still clumsy in Korean and drawing, I would like to share in this book the joy I felt while on a journey of drawing, perhaps the slowest journey in the world, and the records of the growth that came from it.
With a small hope that your liberation will also be in the picture.
