This is a concept that just never, EVER crossed my mind... I just never considered treating a digital layer as a "trace" - utterly genius I'm loving your videos because we're in a similar "era" of architecture, I started on velum and in my 4th year AutoCAD went commercial. I wholeheartedly made the leap, but pretty much left all hand drawing in the dust, 1986-7? Now that I've jumped back into my original interest of architecture (I've been a process engineer managing software development for nearly 30 years now) I'm finding I draw with pencil to get my ideas out of my head, but I really hate paper... I always wished I could rough draw my thoughts and then tidy them up digitally. I have an iPad, but I'd really like a large format version, something like 17-20" where it is still portable, but large enough to get a lot more into view. Anyways, thanks for your instructional vids, they are much welcomed and thoughtful.
Great comment @Taj ! Thanks for the many kind words and great to hear there are others coming from the same background. Pls keep your insightful thoughts coming!
