Beware, it's not a sit down and read. It's a a get out some paper and pen and draw along with the author! She is so great about getting the point across that it's ok for sketches not to be perfect. In fact, one of the pages (see picture) shows the difference between "perfect" and "sketched". The sketched one has more character. I've taken a multitude of lessons on perspective and haven't "gotten" it. Peggy does a great job of explaining. She is a very talented teacher, and this book has been a God send. The picture I attached is the second lesson on perspective. My first had lots of "mistakes" but I learned from them, and corrected them in the 2nd exercise. (see picture) Not perfect, but actually looks like a street drawn in perspective. Go buy this book! Review: Such a happy read! - I'm such a fan of Peggy's and was thrilled to hear about this book since she was my first exposure to urban sketching. I couldn't put it down, but I didn't want it to end. It was a feel-good read(with just the right amount of pictures ;) -each so stunning) and absolutely helpful in teaching a better mindset for sketching. If you've ever felt frustrated by your sketches not turning out as you'd like, this is for you. I loved the sketching practices throughout the book as well as the prompts toward the end. Its a beautiful addition to my library! ## Features - Format: 176 pages, paperback - Published by: Sasquatch Books - Language: English - ISBN: 9781632174192 - ISBN (with hyphen): 978-1-63217-419-2 - Size: 7.5 x 9 inches - Weight: 17 ounces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #219,458 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #148 in Cities & Architecture Coloring Books for Grown-Ups #403 in Pen & Ink Drawing #807 in Art Therapy & Relaxation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 392 Reviews | ## Images ![Mindful Sketching: A Drawing Book for Adults - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81b25UQUesL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's OK not to be perfect! *by L***B on May 21, 2022* This book is so amazing.

I am what feels like a perpetual beginner, and I've picked up other art books and have felt completely overwhelmed. This is my second of Peggy's books, and I love how it feels like she believes everyone can and should express their creativity, but knows that some of us with less experience, or who are craving something that doesn't come naturally, need a little hand holding. Additionally, Peggy is so vulnerable in this book, it just adds another layer to it. She's not perfect, I'm not perfect, and her art might be way more practiced than mine, but it's okay if mine is way less than perfect. And honestly, because of Peggy's books, I really have seen some small improvements in my art, and more importantly, iny confidence with my art. I've gotten small sketchbooks for myself and my kids to carry around with us so we can put more of this particular book into practice. Really grateful for this one! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mindful Sketching: A Drawing Book for Adults - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - For Writing or Drawing - Holiday Gifts for Artists, Crafters & DIY Gifts Projects - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Count - Draw Yourself Calm: Draw Slow, Stress Less --- ## 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.ae/products/406148206-mindful-sketching-a-drawing-book-for-adults](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/406148206-mindful-sketching-a-drawing-book-for-adults) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
