Sketching with Markers

by Thomas C. Wang

The second edition of this text updates the introduction to marker technique and adds a new section on special methods. It is rewritten and revised throughout, with two new chapters and eight additional pages of colour. There are five step-by-step demonstrations. The author explores the special characteristics of using felt tip markers as an expressive tool and shows how designers can get the most out of using them. Wang discusses how to fully exploit the marker's range of applications and techniques. His guidelines cover many types of subjects, including sketching of landscapes, buildings, people and natural panoramas using a variety of lines, textures and tonal values to create different effects. Details are given on types of paper and colour selection. This book should be of interest to architects, landscape architects, artists, designers, graphic designers and other professionals.

An enjoyable book filled with helpful tips on how to improve your sketches. It makes you want to pick up a marker and draw.

Perfectly written details and explanations. Beautiful Drawings!

This is perfect for any beginner, or anyone interested in using markers in more than outlines for watercolors, although the book has some examples for that at the end of it, too.

This was an easy read, and there are ideas for practice.
my library has the first edition. I found the second edition on eBay for my own home library.
