Blogs, Free Videos & Courses

 The following artists have websites, blogs, courses or videos full of great tips for both beginner and experienced urban sketchers.  This is NOT an exhaustive list.  But it will help get you going or get you over a sketching obstacle.

NOTE: Many of these artists have YouTube videos available that were done by other organizations.  I could not capture all of the links.  Be sure to do a search for their name in YouTube.  You'll find lots of great, free tutorials!!!
