Urban sketching isn't about perfection, it's about presence. Grab a portable sketchbook, a pencil or pen you feel comfortable with, and above all an open mind. Put on a pair of easy shoes and head out into your own street or a nearby park. Look around: the lines of buildings, dancing shadows, people going about their daily routines.
Find a comfortable spot to sit and get started. Begin with simple lines and shapes, gradually add details and shadows, and let your intuition guide you. It's not about copying things exactly, but about what moves you. Afterwards, reflect on your sketch: which details caught your eye that you would have otherwise missed? Feel proud, whatever the result.
