I discovered Gabriel Companario this summer through a discovery of urban sketching, and was pleased to see that he's now in my hometown Seattle. I'm a fan of Gabi's eye and style - he sketches everyday neighborhood things, and his work is loose and free. I loved his Art of Urban Sketching: Drawing on Location Around the World book, and when the two new Urban Sketching Handbooks were announced I preordered them. This is my favorite of the three, because it's a simple and effective look at sketching people in scenes. Gabi has a gift for describing this skill in an approachable way, and I've been sketching as often as possible in the past few days since I began reading, then finished this book. I'll revisit it (and his other two) often.
