What’s Inside
Old Bricks
Capture a weathered brick wall using layered brush pen work—variation in shape, eroded mortar, and fine liner detail that brings the texture to life.
Bricks & Boulders
Contrast small, regular brickwork against huge slabs of fallen stone—working dark against light and building texture through layered, overlapping marks.
The Cracked Slab
Follow a single dramatic stone slab from outline through hatching—natural cracks, eroded surface texture, and line-weight variation with a fine liner.
The Pavement
Sketch a busy stretch of paving stones freehand and at pace—learning to record real detail quickly rather than trace it with precision.
Pebbles & Stone
Build a cluster of overlapping pebbles from observation—using tone, texture and shading to give each stone its own individual character.
