Dare to Sketch is filled with practical tips about which materials to use, a variety of subject matter ranging from easy to more challenging, and wisdom about overcoming creative blocks and fear of making mistakes. A whimsical beginner's guide to sketching, covering all of the important basics: what kind of notebook to buy, what drawing materials to use, ideas for subject matter, and daily exercises. Includes inviting, inspirational, and idiosyncratic tips (don't start on the first page of your sketchbook!), Dare to Sketch is gorgeously illustrated with the author's unique and contemporary art style. Review: Simply the Best Art Book I’ve Ever, Truly Enjoyed... - I was moved to buy this book after having seen just a few sketches in some sample pages. Those few sketches made me smile, and warmed me with their confidence and whimsy. And now, having read all 159 pages, lingered long over every sketch, all in one sitting, I can tell you, that for me, this is simply the most joyful, tip filled, inspirational, and liberating art book I’ve ever read, and I will treasure it for a long time to come. I’ve read other guides and help books that read like they were written by the failed, frustrated artist we all know who is always browbeating you with all the things you’re doing wrong. Sheinberger’s sketches, text, advice, and suggestions never cause you to feel downcast or overwhelmed, but are always encouraging and uplifting. Sheinberger is a good writer too. His text is generally limited to 2 to 5 easy to read paragraphs that take up maybe half a page and is mixed on page with a sketch that illustrates the point he’s making. Subject matter is conveyed in a focused and concise fashion so that, while brief, will leave you feeling you’ve been given a lot of information in a very few words. The one real thing the text immediately branded into me was that, I’m sketching for me. Not reality, not for others, and not for anyone’s approval. I had long understood these notions intellectually, but reading it in this little book, while perusing his wonderfully unconventional sketches, the concept was burned, indelibly, into me emotionally. The topics he covers include the typical: sketch tools, sketch books, perspective, landscapes, etc., but he does it creatively, and in a gentle, and encouraging manner. There is practical advice about public sketching etiquette, taking time to sketch, what to sketch, and lots more. This may have all been covered in other art books, but I have either not read, or enjoyed, those like I did this one; I felt refreshed and vitalized after reading it. I readily recommend this book and sincerely think you will not regret it. Review: Motivating. Not in depth instruction on how to produce art. - I found this book inspiring. Howevwer it is not educational like textbook. Doesn't teach technique. Not in depth. It is a light read with interesting illustrations and could help get one motivated to draw. I enjoyed the read. The purpose of it is to inspire and encourage to draw and to share the author's experience with the reader and this is all it does. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #111,263 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #106 in Figure Drawing Guides #166 in Pen & Ink Drawing #263 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 529 Reviews | ## Images ![Dare to Sketch: A Guide to Drawing on the Go - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IGeEEf0AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply the Best Art Book I’ve Ever, Truly Enjoyed... *by C***2 on May 13, 2018* I was moved to buy this book after having seen just a few sketches in some sample pages.

Not in depth instruction on how to produce art. *by A***A on February 11, 2026* I found this book inspiring. Howevwer it is not educational like textbook. Doesn't teach technique. Not in depth. It is a light read with interesting illustrations and could help get one motivated to draw. I enjoyed the read. The purpose of it is to inspire and encourage to draw and to share the author's experience with the reader and this is all it does. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great inspiration and instruction in one *by M***K on May 22, 2019* I've always wanted to sketch small daily things, vacations, trips to the museum, etc. Somehow I felt like my private sketches had to look like the magnificent sketchbooks plastered on the internet, because of course we compare ourselves to the pretty things we see on the internet. So I never really tried to learn properly how to keep a casual sketchbook, despite years of on/off relationships with journals. Enter this book. 1. The author's attitude motivates without being cloying. He has a fantastic "just do it" attitude that makes sketching very accessible, with zero folksiness or condescension. I often find these types of books to be so simplistic in their approach that it seems the author thinks they need to dumb everything down and use very small words. This book gives excellent guidance on first purchases and provides strong starting points, but most importantly, it lays out the concepts simply, but not simplistically. 2. His drawings have enormous personality. None of the illustrations are classically "right," with ears in the wrong places, and weird angles on buildings, and odd lines here and there. But they're incredibly compelling and full of life, and demonstrate that the sketchbook isn't for getting it right, it's for capturing what you see - that person's quirked eyebrow, the way the dog leans on the guy's leg, the colors on the street. My take-away was to capture what I hear, smell, and feel as much as what's physically presented to my eye - and I love that. 3. The overall message is liberating. Sometimes training and looking at "great work" can feel very limiting, but the words and illustrations in this book make the point that there are lots of types of art out there. The kind you want to capture in your private sketchbook (or not private, as you choose) is entirely up to you. The sketchbook is for playing, experimenting, and getting things wrong. And all of it is good. This mental shift was pivotal for me, and was the kind of permission I think I was looking for to begin the kind of sketchbook I'll actually use and enjoy. I've almost filled a large Moleskine now, and have also devoured the author's other book on watercolor sketching (also very highly recommended). If I had a complaint, it's that I'd like him to write more books. If you're considering sketching for pleasure, this is one of your best starting places. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dare to Sketch: A Guide to Drawing on the Go - Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color - The Urban Sketcher: Techniques for Seeing and Drawing on Location --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46645186-dare-to-sketch-a-guide-to-drawing-on-the-go](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46645186-dare-to-sketch-a-guide-to-drawing-on-the-go) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
