Your first goal should be to make viewers feel what you felt at the location, then to draw their attention to the specific elements you were fascinated by. It’s only a (close) third in importance for people to recognize the place. To get that personal response to the drawing, sometimes you’ll have to make intentional “errors.” It’s acceptable to move a tree, or car or signage in order to reveal an important detail or to cover a distracting area. That’s fair game. I’ll draw the impression of details like carved moldings or serrated edges—not a blueprint of the building. You might also want to make a building a little more elegant, or add some wide-angle lens curvature to real perspective, bringing more of the world into view.
Personally, I often leave out distracting background elements, drawing architectural subjects with a clear silhouette, leaving out the city behind so the subject can be seen against clear sky. And I always consider suppressing detail toward the edges of my sketch so that the eye is not drawn away from my focus of interest. I try to do this all in good faith, not altering a scene any more than is necessary to tell the story as I experienced it."
In "The Urban Sketcher - Techniques for Seeing and Drawing on Location" by Marc Taro Holmes
If you're serious about Urban Sketching, Taro Holme's book is the one to go to. Learned a lot of stuff from it, namely to let myself go when on location. I also learned that the main goal is not to reproduce what's in front of you but to interpret it and put on paper what you "see" with your inner eye. This is also the book to come back to every time I'm stuck sketching something.
My own approach after reading Taro Holmes' book:
1 - Observe -> study and observe the subject carefully, it's easy to get lazy...;
2 - Analyse -> How is this built?, Analyse what you see (structure, material, lighting, etc.);
3 - Process -> Take away what you don't need, keep what's important;
4 - Interpret -> Retell the story my way!
Two of my efforts as I read the book:
