Book Overview: Urban Sketching Handbook: Reportage and Documentary Drawing
This illustrated handbook introduces reportage as a form of visual journalism. In a short introduction, Lawlor traces the word reportage to the Old French reporter, meaning “to carry back,” and applies that idea to urban sketching.
The book presents key ideas, galleries, and challenges to help artists observe their surroundings and document them with intent. It is designed for both beginners and sketchers who already draw on location but want to deepen their practice.

- Tips for finding sketch-worthy events and situations in your city or neighborhood.
- Examples of reportage drawings using pen and ink, watercolor, marker, and other media.
- Approaches to drawing landscapes, panoramics, mood, and emotion.
- Challenges and contributions from artists to inspire your own reportage practice.
