Os Urban Sketchers Portugal are a collective of authors who draw in graphic diaries the cities where they live, the places where they travel, which they meet to draw regularly and respect the following manifesto:

1. We design in situ, inside and outside, recording directly what we observe.
2. Our designs tell the story of what surrounds us, the places where we live and where we travel.
3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.
4. We are faithful to the scenes we witness.
5. We use any type of technique and value each individual style.
6. We support each other and draw together.
7. We share our drawings online.
8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.

When designing everyday life in Lisbon, daily routines inevitably arise, less obvious points of interest, technical experiments with new plastic materials, but also the fascinating Lisbon that impresses tourists, the light that is reflected in the Tagus and illuminates everything in duplicate, the monuments, the good life that our city offers…

This is what this book offers: drawings and stories of people from Lisbon made in their daily lives.
