To download the original .Procreate file that accompanies this video click here: www.ipadforarchitects.com/fre.... If you've ever wondered if iPad drawing can really enhance your design process or if there are iPad workflows that can truly create real billable hours, you're in the right place. In this video, I'll take you through my real-world iPad workflow for designing a 5,000 square foot house beginning with Procreate on the iPad.
We'll start with a site analysis, then diagram four design schemes showing the client how the story behind each scheme grows out of their own expressed interests and desires. From there, we'll develop one of those diagrams into a detailed 1/8" scale concept plan, complete with sections, elevations, and even the beginning of an old school cardboard model
So get out your iPads, download the free starter kit of draw-to-scale tools I use in this video at the link below, and get ready to learn a real world workflow for designing a 5,000 sf House on an iPad

ABOUT: My name is James Akers and I'm a practicing architect who also supported my family as a full-time renderer working in pencil and watercolor, up until the day that pencil and watercolor could no longer keep up with the pace of change in the modern digital office. So in 2015, I followed Tim Cook's lead, switched to Apple Pencil on iPad, and haven't looked back. Now, as UCLA professor of iPad Drawing and founder of the iPad for Architects KZfaq channel, I split my time between teaching, rendering, design consulting, architect-ing, and my favorite of all: helping students rediscover the benefits of drawing-by-hand in the digital era through online courses in Procreate, Morpholio Trace and Sketchup for iPad.

Ha !fantastic. A teacher could not ask for more! Thank you so much for your comment and I look forward to seeing more of your contributions to all the videos on my channel. Have a great day, James.

Thank you for the video! As for handwriting: there is an option in procreate to add text, i think making your own font from handwriting can make work flow smoother. Like copying text from source material and changing font to your own, also you can adjust size by selection tool like with any other object

I have tried that but I do find it somewhat cumbersome, usually because I have my iPad out of the keyboard cover and flat on my desk and I have to use the onscreen keyboard which is difficult or awkward at best

Haha how about one of my online courses? Get started with Student monthly access to a single course for a mere $29/month. What say you?

Cool…. Enjoyable Work flow. I was thinking Modular and/or Panels all the way through simply set in place, with roof, wall connections…. Atrium drainage considerations…. I think I could do a basic modified version from this guidance…. Thanks

Wow thank you! Depending on how next meeting goes we’ll see what scheme they go for but yeh, modular components seem critical to success. Are you an architect or builder?

Question: How do you address the need for Layout due to it not being on iPad Pro? I have desktop SketchUp/Layout but would love to make simple quick revisions when away from my office. I guess I could look into RDP…

@iPadForArchitecture Күн бұрын

Unfortunately I have never tried Layout and have been missing a good thing, I am sure. Would love to know more about it. I'm guessing you could share the iPad file back to your desktop after you got home from vacation (in my imaginary scenario only people on vacation use SketchUp for iPad lol) then do Layout on the desktop as usual?

@xekeys Күн бұрын

@@iPadForArchitecture Oh man! Layout definitely has its issues but it’s such an important and good tool in my workflow for creating construction documents. Yes I think I’ll treat the ipad more as a lite work/media device on my vacations haha.

The little diagrams Bjarke Ingles has on his website explaining the origin of all his projects. At least I *think* they are made in Rhino? Check them out at big.dk and let me know if I have that right (and yes that is his actual website address lol)

Hello, Very informative video like all your other videos... I have one question if you please to answer : This style that you have in almost all your videos, which is also common in some other youtube videos of same kind, drawings going back and forth, flickering mildly, colors and lines apperaring-dissapearing, texts and letters adding than erasing back and forth, how do you that effect ? Thank you...

@iPadForArchitecture 3 күн бұрын

Wow great question! I’m dictating this to my iPhone, so forgive me if there are typos. That flickering occurs because you are watching what’s known as a video replay, a feature of procreate, which allows you to playback the appearance of your screen from stroke to stroke or from gesture to gesture as a way of re-creating, the drawing like magic. The flickering is caused when the artist pauses or makes gesture, which is not as visible as a line or a color being added so the video replay is picking up each little pause every time you open up the layer menu, for example, or every time you use the selection to Ole Ole and change to another selection to Ole Ole, etc. It’s all those little Pauses between actions and gestures that show up in the video replay as if they were a more visible part of the drawing or painting itself. Does that make sense? Thanks so much for this great great question.
