Good drawings aren't always the ones that you've spent a lot of time over; some of the best pieces are swift, energetic studies that capture the feel of the subject in just a few well-placed lines. This book contains a series of exercises that develop the core skills for drawing buildings and cities, all of which can be completed in a quarter of an hour.

Understand perspective
Play with proximity and point of view
Record details such as reflections and shadows
Capture the character of buildings and cities
