With just a few simple art tools and a small sketchbook, you too can become
an urban sketcher—someone who goes out and captures his or her city
or neighborhood through drawings. As you work you may find yourself
drawn to reportage—a kind of visual journalism—through your sketches.
But whether you are a beginner or someone who has been drawing on
location for a while, you may find that there are so many different things
happening in your neighborhood that you don’t quite know how to decide
what to cover with your drawings. Or conversely, you might feel like there
is nothing special enough to capture in your sketchbook.
This book, part of the Urban Sketching Handbook series, is a guide on how
to find sketch-worthy events and situations, both large and small. Through
key ideas and examples, the Urban Sketching Handbook: Reportage and
Documentary Drawing will give you points of departure for creating reportage
drawings of your surroundings, while at the same time improving your skills
of drawing and observation.

INTRODUCTION
What exactly is reportage? The Oxford English Dictionary cites the origin of
the word as early seventeenth-century French; the Old French reporter means
“to carry back.” Carry back—this is a wonderful explanation of reportage,
especially as it relates to urban sketching. To do reportage illustration or
documentary drawing, then, means to go out into the world and carry back
what we experience behind our pen or brush. What artists will carry back is,
of course, determined not only by what places and situations confront them,
but also by what they feel passionate about while they are being confronted.
For some artists, the political world is their passion: These sketchers would
be most likely found in the midst of a demonstration, at the courthouse, or
at a national convention. For other artists, the carry back might be a more
ephemeral, emotional experience: a beautiful day at a garden, a child’s
birthday party, or a rainy afternoon spent people watching at a local café.
The possibilities are as varied as the artists. What really counts is the artist’s
intent. More than simply recording what our eyes see, reportage illustration,
sometimes called visual journalism, is also about what the mind and heart see
and take note of, and the story the artist wants to tell.
And how do you make those stories your own? By practicing intent: go to
a location and spend time making observations, and then draw what you’ve
observed. What would you want to tell someone about what you saw, heard,
felt? The more you think in terms of communicating with your urban sketches, the
more natural it will be for you to create reportage. The goal of this handbook is
to give you some tips and things to consider while drawing on location, as well
as some examples to inspire you.
Just as there are all types of written stories to be told, this issue of the Urban
Sketching Handbook series reminds the reader that there are all types of visual
stories to tell. And the next step is to go out and tell them!

KEY I
OBSERVATION
The most important component of reportage and documentary
drawing is your observation. Spend some time in a place, and
really look around. What is happening that is interesting to you?
Think about the large and the small view, the iconic and the lesser-
known parts of a place. Observe the architecture, the people,
the patterns, the colors, and the movement. What is the overall
impression you get? This is what you want to record and bring back
to show others. Every place has its own feeling or vibe; it’s there if
you take the time to find it.
Traveling is a great excuse to practice reportage drawing—you
explore a place so much more when you are drawing it. But you
can practice these same kinds of observational skills closer to home.
You might be surprised by what is sitting right in your own backyard.

STORYTELLING
When we use the word storytelling, we tend to think of blockbuster
Hollywood movies or epic Victorian novels. We don’t tend to think
about our day at the market, or doing the laundry, or walking the
dog. But, really, what makes a good story? Interesting people,
situations, a little humor, and perhaps some theatrics will give you a
good start. Do you find facts interesting, or are you more involved
with emotions? What about your opinions on things?
The truth is, stories are all around us, if we start paying attention.
If you were to call your best friend tonight and tell him or her about
your day, what events would you talk about? And how would you
describe them? Those are your stories. And if you start drawing them
too, then you’re well on your way to storytelling with your art.

Not everyone will like the way you see them. If people
don’t like your drawing of them, tell them it’s simply your

Context Counts
Context can be a very important part of storytelling
through drawing. Case in point: A kiss generally implies some
kind of narrative, but where it takes place can definitely change
the storyline. I was happy to come across this couple kissing behind

From the factory to the artisan’s studio, there are
plenty of stories to be found in the workplace.
People will often be happy to show you their world,
and may even allow you to document their working
process. Be sure to pay attention to people’s hands
when doing a reportage like this: They are the most

DRAMA
The word drama has been getting a bad rap lately. As in, “Don’t
bring me all of your drama,” or “Oh, he (she) just loves to create
drama!” I blame reality television for the disparagement of
something that we all need a little bit of in art, as well as in life.
Drama adds the excitement, the emotion, and the spice to any
series of reportage drawings. And who wants bland drawings?
In this chapter we’ll talk about how to contain the excitement of
a sporting event or live performance on your page, and I’ll suggest
some situations you can seek out to amp up the drama factor of
your work. So what creates that “drama factor”? It’s any number
of things—color choices, texture, marks, line quality, scale—all of
the expressions of the drawing language can be put to good use
in creating the high emotion of an event. Or even of a quiet street
corner. It’s all in how you see it.

RITUAL
Joseph Campbell famously said that a ritual was an enactment of
a myth. As such, rituals can take on extra importance in the midst
of making a series of reportage drawings. What better way to talk
about a religion, a culture, a society, or even a family than through
its rituals?
In this chapter we’ll take a look at some different types of rituals
that you might want to consider documenting as a reportage artist.
It always pays to do a little bit of research before beginning this
kind of location work, as you’ll be prepared and know in advance
what to look for in the situation. That being said, you also have to be
prepared and ready to draw the unexpected.

HISTORY
We can learn so much through the study of history. And what
is reportage drawing if not a way of studying? By bringing our
sketchbooks to historic sites and re-creations of historic events, we
can start to bring life to the past, evaluating what once was and
encouraging others to do the same.
These next pages are dedicated to location drawing of historic
locales, artifacts, and ideas. By immersing ourselves in the places
and ideas of history with a modern artist’s eye, we can help keep it
alive for future generations.

Living History
There are times when people have become
living symbols of the history they themselves
made. Such people are important to document,
to keep their stories and experiences alive.
Life to Artifacts
If preserving an artifact is important for history,
creating reportage drawings of it is a way for
artists to educate future generations by giving that
artifact life! Mystic Seaport in Mystic Connecticut

DOCUMENTARY
Documenting events as they take place can be an exhilarating
experience. You are in the moment, carried along with the emotion,
and putting things down on your page as they happen. Whether
the event is a joyous celebration or a tragic circumstance, drawing it
fixes the memory, both for yourself and for your audience.
As a form of collective memory making, documentary drawings
can be some of the most rewarding you will ever do as a reportage
artist. And those drawings may even become a part of history. Artists
can make an important contribution to the world when they choose
to be witnesses to life through their work.

ADVOCACY
You can talk your talk, but can you walk your walk? Using your
reportage to bring attention to a cause that matters to you can be
one of the most rewarding things you will do as an artist. It allows
you to use your talents to direct an audience toward an injustice you
want to right, a cause you want to celebrate, or an event that you
don’t want to go unnoticed. Your empathy and sympathy translated
into action—that’s the power of reportage! Hopefully your drawings
will spur others to action as well.
If your work invites the attention of even only one other person,
you can know that you’ve contributed to the world with your art, and
what a worthwhile thing to do. Just maybe, you can get others to do
the same.

PORTRAITS
A portrait is more than a likeness; according to the dictionary, it is
also a description of a person. A description implies a way to speak
about someone’s mood, energy, and character. A portrait done as
part of a reportage should tell you something about the situation
the person exists in and perhaps how they relate to the situation.
Graphics play a role in the explanation of a person, too—does the
person feel soft and fuzzy, like a runny watercolor or a smudgy
pastel? Or does the person feel sharp and pointed, like a razor-
point pen or a hard charcoal line?
And, oh yes, the person should be recognizable as well! So
don’t forget to look at the structure of the face and the shape of the
eyes. Drawing hands and body language in a portrait helps, too.
Have fun!

LANDSCAPES AND
PANORAMICS
The surroundings of an event or the mood of a place—a lot of
information can by conveyed by the landscape of a reportage
series. It’s good to get an overall view.
And sometimes, the landscape can become the story. Think of
all the changes that happen in a landscape in the course of a day,
or a year—the weather, the seasons, the movement of water, wind,
earth, and fire. All of these elements coming together can affect us in
so many ways. It turns out that by documenting our surroundings, we
can tell the stories of our lives.

MOOD AND EMOTION
We often say that we get overtaken by our mood or “lost in
emotion.” What an important, and yet intangible, element to
include with a reportage.
Whether it be joyous, melancholy, or something in between,
the mood of a person, place, or situation is extremely important,
as is how we use our talents and our materials to capture that mood.
What mediums we choose and how we combine them can be
very important, and our editing and sense of picture design bring
it all together.
Remember, what affects you emotionally will affect someone
else in a similar way. Or in a completely different way. Either way,
putting it out there causes the energy of the emotion to ripple out
through our art to the world beyond our page. And isn’t that part
of why we draw?

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank all of the artists who generously allowed their work
to be reproduced on these pages: Your enthusiasm for the project is much
appreciated! And thank you to Gabi Campanario, for creating this wonderful
Urban Sketchers community.
Many thanks also go to my insightful and sensitive editor and friend, Mary
Ann Hall, who is such a pleasure to work with; and to Neil, my husband and
greatest supporter. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Patty Lawlor, who was
always so proud and happy to see me do the work that I love. Miss you, sister.
