Sketching has been used by generations of artists as a way of quickly capturing something they see, working out concepts, or planning a final composition. They are generally not used as a final rendered image. We have gathered together twenty "Master" sketchers who have taken sketching to the next level. They will take you, step-by-step, through their process, sharing their creative insight along the way. Masters of Sketching is an outstanding collection of useful tutorials and inspiring images.
