If you have not read the first volume yet, you can get it here, or buy both as a package deal!  

What is the idea behind the very concept of a sketch? How to make the right selection of what should be on your paper and what will only interfere with conveying the most important things? How to build a project? What materials to choose based on the task that you set for yourself?

The answers to these questions and much more can be found in the second volume of Sketching Academy. But the main attraction is of course step-by-step sketches in different techniques and invaluable personal advice from the author.  

Take your sketches to the professional level!
