Sketching Outside: An Illustrated Guide to Making Art on the Go - 01

This is a beautiful artbook that provides many ideas on what you can sketch outdoors.

The author Tilo Schneider is a freelance designer, artist and sketching instructor. He's not active on social media so unfortunately there aren't more sketches to see.

The book has so much drawing tips for different subjects that you can try. There are 250 pages so there's a lot to read.

The sketches featured in this book are lovely. They are loose, vibrant, created with a variety of media, and are just fun to look at.

This is a great book for those who love sketchbooks and urban sketching. The book is also available in Amazon Kindle format.
