It’s a sortable spreadsheet that helps you find the video you need from the 200+ tutorials on this channel. Click to download, and I’ll see you in the next video: www.ipadforarchitects.com/0ne-click-interactive-guide
Always a pleasure to see your comments Einglert!
Those who learn this technique will stand out. I'll get an iPad soon with the objective of learning this style of rendering.
Your comment makes my day! Thanks so much and reach out again if you have any questions about the process
Really nice, usefull and calming videos this guy makes!
Thank you so much! You made my day )
Why didn’t I think of this when I was still an architecture student 😭 rendering was so hard for me because my laptop couldn’t do it quickly and so I couldn’t present my designs the way they should have been. Anyways, great video! I learned a lot from you and will use this knowledge to create better sketches. Thank you!
It always makes me happy to see that someone is getting value from these. Thanks so much for your comment Gaby and please keep them coming. Btw, how are you using Procreate in your professional life?
Just want to mention that in procreate to can create a pallet from the picture itself instead of manually picking each color. Of course, this gives you less control over the colors but just a suggestion. As an architecture student that uses procreate a lot I think you did a great job showing what the possibilities are.👍
Yes, you are so right. This can be a great feature, although as you say sometimes the colors assembled in a palette made this way can be so subtle its hard to figure out which is which.
Wonderful, thanks!
Our pleasure!
Great work...again!
Thanks, man!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge that you gained putting in a lot of time
You’re very welcome
terrific video - well done for content and presentation !
Thatnks so much--made my day )
master class!!!
You are 2 kind )
This is a really relaxing video. Thanks Boss (:
My pleasure
This is right up my alley! Well done 👍🏻
So glad, mark! Thanks for all your comments. I always look forward to them
Let me know how you're using Procreate if you haven't already, OK, Mark?
Love this!! This helped me so much as someone newer to Procreate!
I’m so glad! I’m working on an online course too so stay tuned. What are you using procreate for in your professional life?
Hi @sugouuu: just wanted to follow up. The new online courses have (finally) launched and you can browse them here: james-akers-2f16.mykajabi.com/online-courses-from-ipad-for-architects-and-designers. Thank you again for your interest!
Is the process similar for adding the lighting effects in Morpholio Trace? Thanks
Really enjoyed this one! 👌🏻👍🏻
Keep them coming! 😊🇬🇧
Haha you remain the best, Jimmy
Nice video, love it. I use procreate with sketch up for interior scenes all the time.
That’s awesome to here, Matt. Great minds think alike, eh? 🤓
SEXY AND VAGUE!!!!!! Perfect words to describe this….. you really nailed it and i’m not even 1 minute into this tutorial.
Thx in advance.
Hahaha
Just finished and wow. You have just convinced me to use procreate-at least start using it. i’m a morpholio t user, so i’ll still use that but your renderings are knock outs!! plus your videos are extremely well done- i wish other tutorial video-ers would do the same:)
Just seeing this comment and you have made my day! Thanks so much for kind words. How are you using these apps in your professional life, if I may ask?
@@iPadForArchitecture i’ve been sharing my screen with morpholio - presenting floor plans mostly, and red lining them during the meeting. i like to do quick elevation renderings, but nothing as great as yours:) if i knew how to post a pic i would!
i also do collage digital drawings/paintings that i sell. these seem to fit a sweet spot price-wise to my reach. i’m going to sign up for one of your bundle courses! just trying to decide which one. i’m not convinced i’ll switch to ipad sketchup yet, so i’m pondering the other 2:)
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
very pretty 👍. I have to try it
Please do! If you are an architect or designer who is curious about the promise of iPad drawing then you are in the right place, because I have been a Procreate user for the last seven years, And because my livelihood has literally depended on Procreate, I have developed these strategies and techniques in the pressure cooker of high stakes professional work situations, and can give you the benefit of that learning, so that there is no better place for you to learn these things as quickly and with as much fun as with me on this channel, and perhaps, if you wish, in my online course (see links in description below)
beautiful work thank you.
You are kind to say so! If you haven't answered elsewhere already, can I ask how you're using iPad drawing in your personal or professional life?
I always learn something from you. thanks, beautiful drawings
Just seeing this comment and you have made my day! Thanks so much for kind words. How are you using these apps in your professional life, if I may ask?
@@iPadForArchitecture Hi, I'm an Automotive Engineer working in Paris. In my professional life I use procreate to make attractive presentations and slide animation graphics. In my private life, I design T-shirts, Advertising, fun projects like book illustration, Trading Card Game art etc etc
More great stuff. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome
Let me know how you're using Procreate if you haven't already, OK, Kevin?
You got a new sub here. I'm an interior design student working on a project right now where this will become handy. Of course it's the interior I'm working on but helpful nonetheless. Great video! 👏🏽
Thanks Guillermo! I have a ton of interior specific videos too so I hope you can find them. If you go to my website blog you can download interactive spreadsheet listing most of the video subjects with links. Thanks for your sub, good sir!
@@iPadForArchitecture already found a few! Very good motivation to get rendering.
Great job, James. Only if these Procreate hand renderings "stills" can rotate in 360 views for client input/edit. I suspect that time is not too far away. However, once clients start to drive the design changes, there lies an inherent danger. like going down to the rabbit hole...LOL
I’m here for that moment lol!
Landscape Architecture student here, biggest drawback is my freehand skills. Great vid, would be awesome to have the image file available for download so people can draw along while watching for some interactive learning. Thumbs Up, New sub.
Really good idea, Josh! Similar "draw-along" concept coming with my online courses
Hey Josh, just wanted to follow up. The new online courses have launched and you can browse them here: james-akers-2f16.mykajabi.com/online-courses-from-ipad-for-architects-and-designers
👍
very well explainined and not scaring away students
Thank you Claas!
@@iPadForArchitecture I wish design schools would sometimes offer more area specialized drawing courses. I find when my students take life drawing they don't get as much out of it compared when they would take an architecture illustration / sketching course that would apply to what they do.
@@cekuhnen Claas have we spoken before? Forgive me but I can’t remember. I’m curious what you teach, where you are teaching, and wondering if you’d ever be up for a chat to compare notes. I’m teaching iPad for architects at UCLA extension and am always interested in thoughtful feedback. Reach out at my email if you’d like to.
Great video. Very inspiring. I'm making a leap into digital sketching. Should have done this many years ago.
Thanks so much, Brett. Very glad to have you aboard the channel. How are you using Procreate in your professional or artistic life?
@@iPadForArchitecture I’m doing some sketching for preliminary/schematic design. I’ve found that Morpholio Trace is a little more geared for architects in regard to some tools like the ruler and area takeoff etc.. but the drawing experience and pens are nicer in procreate. Still new to them though.
@@bretoba Excellent, thanks for the update. Anything in particular you'd like to see more of on this channel?
I just discovered your videos and can say they've inspired me! I've had procreate for a while now and never got passed a simple doodle in the past. Any tips for someone who is literally just starting?
Just stay at it and keep practicing. Slow and steady wins the race. Oh and one other thing: play! Play, play and play some more. Just keep trying all the different Procreate brushes, and colors, and tools. Put no pressure on yourself and just spend the time
Hi - great video! I just can't figure out how to make the white parts transparent when I import the image.
Go into the layer (in the Layers menu) of the image containing the white you want to disappear, then tap on the "N" button (blending mode) within the individual layer in question, then select ""Multiply." That should make all the light areas of your layer disappear and show only the darker things in the layers below. Does that help?
can you do this in sketchup free?
How much iPad RAM do you recommend the type of work you do with Procreate? I'm looking to purchase an iPad Pro M2 8 GB or 16 GB.
I would encourage you to get the most RAM you can afford. The M@ should be fantastic! I haven't bought one yet, but this is a game of time strokes, and you will make tens of millions of them in your career, and the less latency in the pencil and iPad, the more time you will have away from work to spend with your loved ones ). Sounds crazy, I know, but its my job to give you the permission structure you need to buy the best!
Please some vdeo creation from procreate sir,,really inspiration
I will try my best! Thanks for your comment. How are you using these apps in your professional life?
Effing awesome ... I have yet to learn all these tricks and this video will help a great deal - thanks to you and to all in this community that we can learn from.
Welcome, Jesse. We got a ton of videos on the channel, so please enjoy, and don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Let me know how you're using Procreate if you haven't already, OK, Jesse?
@@iPadForArchitecture Mr. Akers ... I am learning Procreate and not sure of it’s true potentials (or mine with this app) since I keep seeing all these little tips and tricks like in this video. I also use Procreate to start sketches and gather ideas as to furniture layout and sizing of rooms, but that’s about as far as i take my sketches because I’m not sure how to fully use this software(?). I love the videos you share and hope to one day be able to do the same and master my skills as you so eloquently do. Hahaha. I can’t afford a computer just yet, but when i can i will definitely buy SketchUp. I used the free download sample a couple of years ago and learned it pretty quickly and loved it. I’m a self taught draftsman from the late 80’s and started using AutoCAD when it first came out in DOS !! Sheesh that was a while ago. Then I got into drafting in pen and ink and love that even more than pencil on velum. But again, all of this has been self taught and never could afford schooling for these fancier classes - so i will continue to go at my own pace and see what happens. I am truly amazed at how quickly architects went from hand drawings to digital drawings and with all the programs, apps and drawing aids out there - it really is overwhelming to choose one or two to use. I will stick with Procreate and SketchUp for the time being. In the late 80’s as mentioned before - i was so amazed at AutoCAD and wanted to buy it, but was pretty expensive since it was just starting out, but prices have come down and not sure if i would even go that route since Procreate and SketchUp do just as well. I have always loved the “hand-drawn” look for blueprints, but drawings like yours in this video make it soooo worth it to learn!! Thank you again for sharing and I look forward to seeing more from your studios.
@@jesse8721 fantastic to hear. Really admire your self starting abilities and gumption. Just goes to show it’s all about the person not the software. Keep working hard my friend. It gets easier and that makes it more exciting and addictive
@@iPadForArchitecture thank you ... coming from you, that’s means a lot. But ... I will try and ask questions tho as I dive deeper into this. When I retire, this is how I want to make extra money with a side hustle. If i knew enough of both of these programs, i would have that side hustle now. Lol. Thanks for your encouragement !!!!
Can you explain why, when you copy Andrey’s pallet, that you didn’t use Procreate’s feature that creates a pallet automatically from his photo?
GREAT question (really)! I actually did do it when I was making the piece, but I thought bringing that palette feature up would be more complicated than the average viewer would need at that moment in the video. I was trying to get viewers to concentrate on the idea of sampling colors in the simplest way. But its great that you know that feature. I've covered that "make a new palette from a photo" in parts of other videos, but one thing I've found, and maybe you have, too?, is that when you import all the colors from a reference image, that a) there tend to be so many--and they are not necessarily organized the way you would if you were making your own new palette from scratch--that you can be overwhelmed by all the choices when you open the palette in the heat of the creative moment, and b) the colors can become so out of context that you can stare at the newly imported palette and not necessarily know which of the colors you wanted to use in the new piece!? I find since my watercolor days that the colors always need context because if they are not next to each other or arranged in a certain order, its hard to guess which of the "yellows" and "reds" will be lighter, which will be darker when it eventually appears in the new piece. On the other hand I have had great success when importing a palette and starting from scratch. What has your experience been?
how to open sketchup model that created in windows laptop inside ipad? i open it via google drive but dindnt work....
Errr, not sure? Sorry. The happiest of holidays to you and yours, btw--James
i need an ipad RIGHT NOW!
Haha go for it I say! How do you contemplate using the app?
This is the real shit! 🔥👀🔥
Thanks, Doktor Dude! How are you using Procreate, if I may ask?
@@iPadForArchitecture Mostly for tracing over sketched ideas 👍
Can I export from sketchup for I pad to procreate?
Yes!!
@@iPadForArchitecture Procreate can import USDZ files, and sketchup go can export USDZ, but how abouth UV unwrapping, it is impossible to do on I pad version? I just bought sketchup go and procreate and cant find how to do it
How can I do this from rhino?
Not sure? Just export a jpeg hidden line drawing and you're halfway there, I guess.
Hi I’m using procreate to improve my sections but when I finish the pdf is blurry. Can u help me?
Check the canvas info settings on your job. For decent resolution your canvas should be at least 11”x17”x300 dpi. Let me know what you discover in a second comment ok?
@@iPadForArchitecture hi I checked and my pdf follow all yours settings. I even tried to upgrade the resolution to 600dpi but when I import my pdf in procreate it’s blurry. I watched the resolution in procreate and it says 3370px 2383px 300dpi. Should I change something? Maybe when I export the file in a wrong way(?)
P.S. I work on archicad in windows and then convert the pln in pdf(which is an A0). Then I send it by e-mail myself so I have the pdf on my iPad and I open it on Profreate then I work on it. But it’s the first time I use it for Layouts etc meanwhile I use it for the image and the quality is pretty good.
Try importing a jpeg version of the pdf, like a screen capture that's much closer to the size of the Procreate canvas you want to use. Sounds like the pdf you're importing isn't opening up at high enough resolution. Let me know if that worked, OK?
how much is the course for procreate beginner?
Still too early to say cuz we haven’t finished it but thanks for signing up for info on the website!
Hey @a m: just wanted to follow up. The new online courses have (finally) launched and you can browse them here: james-akers-2f16.mykajabi.com/online-courses-from-ipad-for-architects-and-designers. Hope you can find something to match your budget
I noticed your brush palette looks just like Procreate's.....is it? Did you somehow merge Procreate and SketchUp?
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but I am using both apps, and my Procreate brush set is pretty much standard with some dotted and dashed lines of my own creation. Should be available on my website (link in description of video) Thank you!
try to use the word Sexy more if you can, please
Haha it works so well!
just one thing, environmental shadows don't add up
Artistic license lol but thanks for the sharp eyes
