To everyone watching this video from this channel, i am an Architect and i can tell you that this man is a REAL Architect, everything about him is a real elegant creative great taste and knowledge Architect, glad i found this channel.
I’m an architect, and I’ve been using the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil since the very first model was released. The apps I would recommend you try are: - Notability (for marking PDFs. Very simple and syncs with your iPhone and Mac) - Paper (simple sketchbook-like sketching app. Can sync with iPhone and allows for very quick, iterative sketching) - Concepts (very, very powerful vector drawing app. Has scale tools and an infinite canvas)
@@30by40 I haven't done that, but the way I use the app makes it almost impossible to export and use the lines for CAD work. But that also depends on the tool you're using and the approach you take. For instance, there is a line tool that I really never use. It creates perfect, CAD-like lines. But I use other tools (like pencils, pens, highlighters, and watercolor), and my approach is using the app as a replacement for a drafting table. Meaning that I mainly draw plans/sections to scale, and sketch some ideas on the side. To me, this works really well. You can also insert measurements on the drawing, and show/hide them as well. And since I draw numerous lines on top of each other, and draw some less-perfect lines, this makes it very messy if it gets exported to CAD. The app is really extensive and can accommodate multiple ways of work. I would recommend you try it using different approaches (sketches, measured drawings, drafting with the line tool) and see what works. It has great tools you won't find anywhere else. Examples are: - There are masking tools (like an eraser, but it does not erase the lines beneath them, it just hides them so you can always delete the mask) - There is a true eraser that literally cuts the line, so that if you have one line you can cut it into two and each one is a separate object (the app treats each continuous part as an object that you can manipulate. It's interesting) - A nudge tools allows you to manipulate lines by nudging them. Very nice for perfecting curved lines And much, much more. I can explain it all day but you've really got to test it. It's very deep. Cheers, Husain
@@30by40 hello, I’m debating grabbing a Pro 11” with the A12z for $589 or get the Pro 11” with the M1 chip for $689. Can you advise? I’m an architect as well and would like this for design/sketching.
Or he doesn’t like how much he actually ended up liking it since he’s so analog when it comes to his sketchbook but this was just as good if not better with all the other things it can do on top of drawing
He is saying I think having the apple pen made this where he liked it as opposed to trying to do it with your finger or a cheap stylus. He mentions having an older iPad without pen capability.....
Mohammad Alattar i’m an architecture student I have a main PC ,my MacBook Pro, and the 12.9” latest iPad Pro, my workflow is perfectly seamless now, I can capture any thought and get it to another device within seconds
I will be an arch student in a month so I am searching for the convinient laptop and I have no ıdea what should I buy. Can you give me any advice about it? (By the way the currency in my country is not good if you consider that I’ll be pleased:) )
I love how you may have accidentally become my new favorite tech reviewer lol. Such a pleasant watch. Really thorough and personal. Plus your editing style is top-notch as always! I'd love to see more of these in the future (hint-hint), keep it up!
Eric, I am working really hard right now to become an architect and your videos are a constant source or hope and encouragement. Your commitment to excellence in all aspects astounding. I seriously cannot get enough of your content. Your architecture practice looks most like the one I want to build than any other out there, and it is because of you that my vision has found room to run. I love this particular video because all of the ways you have grown (in video production) are on display but you let down some of the formality you sometimes have, without being 'goofy'. So grateful for your work. Keep it up! One day I hope we will be peers!
@@sonpham3438 if they're not gonna change the quality or the house casing which can be easily bent then i would go for the 2018 model😁. I'm only after with the durability of the iPad pro cause I'm not that good at taking care of my device😭😭
This is the most useful iPad pro review I've watched. Thank you. I'm a designer and illustrator looking to upgrade from a 2016 9.7" and just seeing you interacting with the 11" has solidified it as my choice over the 12.9". Thanks for taking us through your workflow!
So a year has gone by - did you get the 11" - what are your impressions? My skillset is very similar to yours - I'm wondering if the 11 can handle very detailed illustrations/ or engineering designs? What do you think?
@@nishajassal1476 No - haven't gotten it yet - I'm wondering if I should wait for an updated version sometime in early 2022 - or just go with this 11. As an artist, I like the big screen with the 12.9 & better screen graphics - guess I should try them side by side at Best Buy, then make a decision. I do cityscapes & some mechanical engineering - was wondering if an 11 could handle this - let me know if you get one -
I love your channel. Back in the mid-80s I went to college to study architecture. Though my life has taken a different turn - I am former 26-year attorney who now teaches yoga - I have never lost my interest in architecture and the work behind the scenes. Thanks for your great content.
@@Godschild77786 architect here. You need a degree in architecture, ideally a 5-year Bachelors or even a 4-year bachelor plus 1 or 2 years in grad school. Then you have to take 6 ARE exams plus about 3 years of recorded experience to get a license.
I'll be honest. I switched careers from Architecture to Visual Communication at the end of 2018, but looking at these sketches in procreate, and thinking of how much more efficient and minimal the workflow could be with the iPad makes me crave another shot with Architecture 😂 This is sleek as sleek gets, mate 🔥
This review and presentation was just Excellent! It demonstrates how a clear thinking architect is able to organize thoughts and create a beautiful presentation to boot. Timing was just right for me. As an old retired architect myself, your presentation provided exactly what I was searching for. Thank you for posting this.
I'm a Creative Director and Photographer, not an Architect, but creativity in Architecture fascinates me so I watched the whole video. I like the job-specific review and I think we need more of these in RUclips so kudos for this 👍🏻
Your content is so good, you're not trying to make content, you're capturing it. Huge difference. And from a super practical lifestyle. Awesome. Thank you. You rock sir
When the gen 2 Apple Pencil came out along with my iPad Pro I felt they finally made it indispensable to my workflow and design process. Very sadly, my shelf of over 100 sketchbooks has been getting lonely. I do miss my real tools but I just can't get away from the iPad. I say that in a positive way.
I am always in awe of your ability to be so organized! That is one thing I struggle with. Being organized itself is not necessarily the most difficult part, but being organized in 'real-time' is. How do you stay organized in the midst of various projects and ideas? My mind seems to scrambly to take the few seconds to put pens back where they were or maintain any notion of order on my desk! It's definitely the number one 'skill' I (and maybe others) need to learn. Your sense of organization never ceases to amaze me
The problem is - literally nothing for architects is on IOS. You'll look super cool drawing sketches, but when it comes to project delivery - there is no way around windows. And marrying windows and IOS is such an agony that I prefer staying solely on Windows at all times.
When I discovered your channel you just had few subscribers and I was an interior arch. student trying to be top in the faculty. And now I've graduated as top student in my department but gave up designing. I still follow your channel
i appreciate how you are inside the apple ecosystem yet you arent an irrational fanboy and you present cases in which the alternatives could be considered, props to you man
Sir you're an inspiration. You just motivated a young fellow like me to "go make something." Your presentation, the quality of the video, charisma, conciseness and overall personality are the elements I am very fond of.
No matter how much other reviews I watch, I allways come back to your video. Thank you so much, I’m an Architecture student considering to buy an iPad and your video clear me all my doubts!
This video is such an inspiration to me. I feel as a architect student, some of these apps are everything as you mention, but also budget friendly. How many rolls of trace does a course require? When you run out, you’re off to buy more. But digitally, you can just open a new file and continue rather than a whole new page and always having to buy, buy and buy more supplies!
I'm with you on the digital transition and reduced paper usage. I have been using my surface book for a few years both as the tablet when out on site and as my main workstation using a hub and additional monitor. Keep up the good work!
I had just this discussion this week about getting an IPad and move my sketching, client meeting and revision onto the electronic side. It's on point that you did this video. Sound promissing ! You should do a follow up in 2 or 3 months. Keep up the good work !
i'm not an architect or designer, i already own and use an ipad pro with apple pencil ... and i'm still watching this whole video because it's such a pleasure! :) also like the way you talk and explain. thanks a lot!
It’s like I’m watching myself but whiter and cooler. I’m 28 and there’s a lot that’s been going on with my life but the most prevalent that’s been at the top is extremely detail oriented. So much so that I want to create new ways to organize myself and thoughts. Architecture and plan drawing process is what I landed on. If only my father, architect himself, was a good and patient teacher.
Being Architects, we really need portable and immediate mobile work stations like these since carrying the plans are really inconvenient sometimes 😅 Love you video, Architect!
Unbelievable video. The attention to detail to the editing and content is amazing. Aside from the fact that I will actually use the information you provided (as a designer), the video was thoroughly calming to watch. Thank you sir for setting the bar for young architects. Please keep them coming..
My best companion app is “Concept” this app got me alot of client from just showing draft layout sketch and take note. Best of best to have an ipad over android tablet pen and ui aren’t in the same league IMO. Cheers!!🥂
yea, i been saying the same things as you. Nobody ever talks a bout how awesome Concepts is and android is indeed terrible when it comes to having good quality apps and pencil support.
I am not an architect, but I sketch and need to remodel stuff. Also new to the iPad world. This was a very well conceived and delivered video. You kept me going through the entire thing, even though some of the apps will not apply To my skill sets. Congratulations! If you are as good an architect as you are at communicating on video, I would love to work with you one day! Well done.
I have gotten the Paper Like 2 recently. I can tell a bit of difference from the first gen. I would definitely recommend it over glass... but only if you draw/write a lot on the iPad.
I'm still asking to myself if i really want to go digital also on sketching. This is as much hard as substitute books with ebooks. It's good, yes but it's not the same. Good for you that you are liking the process.
I'm a professional designer with many large scale projects under my belt - from elevation views of exhibits to minute 3-D modeled parts. The i-pad is a GREAT and must have tool. But it is only part of an inventory of tools! I love hand sketching and that's what attracted me to my current line of work. Learning digital drawing tech is a MUST - as a designer you have to learn and know it. Put it in your priorities as you need it but having a working understanding and aptitude is required of you in today's market. I think this is what is being communicated in this vid.
For those who aren't apple based (small crowd, I know) Microsoft's Surface works really well also. I was back and forth between an iPad pro and the surface. For not much more I went with the surface. The main reason being is is that, unlike the iPad, I can run full programs on it and not just an app version. This was great for me at the time since I was also in the market for a computer. So I have a fully functional laptop (that handles SketchUp, cad, and Revit well) and a tablet.
I will say the main drawback to it though is that since you are running full versions of the programs, boot ups take a little longer for heavier ones like PS which I use to draw concept plans.
But the pen of the surface wasn’t as great as the apple one. Beside from that it run well for those app for architect. Still for those who want to expand their knowledge with digital i would recommend IPad but for only architect and being able to do thing without dragging your laptop with you then surface to me.
@@Lilix-nm1xh I could agree. The pencil of the iPad definitely feels much better, and without looking it up, I was to say had a higher dpi response (maybe). But the great part about the surface was it doesn't have to feel like dragging your laptop around. Often I don't even have the key board attached. And it's been handy on the occasion where i needed access to heavier capabilities while in the field. The fluidity of the Apple OS is hard to get past though :) I think UI is something apple will rule in for quite some time.
You sir, are top quality! A dying breed!from your workflow, time management, presentation, review to editing ALL elite status. Thank you for sharing. You inspire my inner architect and creative self. Cheers.
Awe man, what a pleasant surprise for my sunday morning. Hoping for the best this new year for you and your family Eric. Take care my friend! By the way, have you ever used a fountain pen in your sketching? If so, did you like it? If not, how so?
30X40 Design Workshop I might try it, I like the way it looks, really really enjoy your recording interacting with clients! , need a bunch more, it’s better than tv!
@@larrytinnin3357 I've actually been doing this in a BLUE color based on Eric's inspiration and I love it, looks great, not TOO expensive, but very effective
Hi there, interesting to read that you know started to understand the value of a drawing tablet. Few more apps for you to look into: Concepts - I find this as a designer seriously beating overhyped pro-create. Instead of Procreate SketchBook (Free) is also a very useful app. You mentioned morpholio which is pretty good also with its AR to sketch idea. But I always go back to concepts. Regarding 3D CAD look at Shar3D - how SketchUp should have been. CAD models made on site can be send later to autocad etc. No more taking paper notes for dimensions etc ... Probably you know there is also a mobile version of autocad for iOS.
I recently purchased the ipad pro too. I found really usefull the app Affinity Designer, as a editing tool for vector and pixel files (like adobe illustrator and simple Photoshop in one app). And its a very good price too. Both pc and ipad. Also for desktop version, I recommend the affinity publisher (like adobe indesign) and if you want to edit later in ipad the app affinity designer opens the same files and does a great job. Check them out. :)
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but at 7:56 found it strange how comfortably this man one hands the 11 inch iPad Pro using his pinky and thumb. Dont get me wrong I myself have what i would consider large hands, but this man makes it look like an iPad mini!
Archi student and photographer here, what do you think about the new pro model? Are lidar, cursor, and more performance game changer? It really feels like it's made for my needs.
I'm not an architect, but I've wanted to introduce the iPad to my architect friends in a way that'd be useful to them. This video has been a great perspective.
Your videos are very professional and well done! Best I found on the web so far. Thanks for your work and your help to the designers community! For iPad Pro, I like also SketchBook by Autodesk. I bought Procreate to give it a shot, but it seems pretty much the same, and it's free! :)
this guy is obviously a very practical man. Notice that he doesnt get products simply because its new. case and point is the phone and laptop he is using
What an incredible video. The way you articulate your words and explain process is inspiring. This video is so relevant during this time and was extremely helpful. Would love to see updates on your latest Notion processes and how you are using it in 2021!!!
Great presentation, I'm architect. Just curios how is the quality of a rendering or an image when you present to the client with a "matte scree protector". I was wondering if there other screen protectors out there that deliver the same sketchy texture but does not loose the clarity?
This is fantastic! I'm trying to research ipad tools for architects and designers, and I haven't found many helpful resources online. This video is clear, organized, and informative. Just what I needed!
Are you a designer struggling with time management? Try this: time.thirtybyforty.com/
30X40 Design Workshop yes I need it cuz I’m not an architect 😬😬😬😬😬
So you use Autocad and you have a template for Revit. Makes me wonder what you think of their "little brother" FormIt.
Excellent video, have you been able to use sidecar yet?
@Bishop Sharp 11:32

Oh man, the quality of this video is insane. Great review man. I think this is what I was looking for (the review).
I’m an architect, and I’ve been using the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil since the very first model was released. The apps I would recommend you try are:
- Notability (for marking PDFs. Very simple and syncs with your iPhone and Mac)
- Paper (simple sketchbook-like sketching app. Can sync with iPhone and allows for very quick, iterative sketching)
- Concepts (very, very powerful vector drawing app. Has scale tools and an infinite canvas)
Thanks...haven’t tried Notability yet will have to give that a spin.
Curious if you export the vector line work from Concepts to use elsewhere?
@@30by40 I haven't done that, but the way I use the app makes it almost impossible to export and use the lines for CAD work. But that also depends on the tool you're using and the approach you take.

- A nudge tools allows you to manipulate lines by nudging them. Very nice for perfecting curved lines

Thanks for mentioning the laminated glass. No one seems to talk about that detail. Also the preference for the smaller 11", very useful comments.
I’ve been thinking of getting an iPad Pro for a while now and this was really helpful in that process. Thank you!
Unbelievable video. The attention to detail to the editing and content is amazing. Aside from the fact that I will actually use the information you provided (as a designer), the video was thoroughly calming to watch. Thank you sir for setting the bar for young architects. Please keep them coming..
My best companion app is “Concept”
this app got me alot of client from just showing draft layout sketch and take note.
Best of best to have an ipad over android tablet pen and ui aren’t in the same league IMO.
Cheers!!🥂
yea, i been saying the same things as you. Nobody ever talks a bout how awesome Concepts is and android is indeed terrible when it comes to having good quality apps and pencil support.
Square Breaker true i have my note 10+ frustrating using Concept on it with no Transformation tools to use properly. 😭
Thanks for sharing your experience within the iPad pro and Architectural sector. You almost answered every question that I had about these
I am not an architect, but I sketch and need to remodel stuff. Also new to the iPad world. This was a very well conceived and delivered video. You kept me going through the entire thing, even though some of the apps will not apply To my skill sets. Congratulations! If you are as good an architect as you are at communicating on video, I would love to work with you one day! Well done.
Finally a video that shows a real use for this amazing machine.
I have gotten the Paper Like 2 recently. I can tell a bit of difference from the first gen. I would definitely recommend it over glass... but only if you draw/write a lot on the iPad.
The timing of that log breaking at 8:03 was impeccable
I'm still asking to myself if i really want to go digital also on sketching. This is as much hard as substitute books with ebooks.
It's good, yes but it's not the same.
Good for you that you are liking the process.
I'm a professional designer with many large scale projects under my belt - from elevation views of exhibits to minute 3-D modeled parts. The i-pad is a GREAT and must have tool. But it is only part of an inventory of tools! I love hand sketching and that's what attracted me to my current line of work. Learning digital drawing tech is a MUST - as a designer you have to learn and know it. Put it in your priorities as you need it but having a working understanding and aptitude is required of you in today's market. I think this is what is being communicated in this vid.
Thank you for encouraging me to go back to my interior design career. I was extremely discouraged by spoiled teachers.
Your Cinematography is BEYOND AMAZING!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, AND I AGREE THAT THE IPAD SERVES AS AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR THE ARCHITECT AND FOR IMPROVING PRACTICALITY AT WORK
@SpiderMan 62 HE CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW EXCELLENTLY THE IPAD SERVES AS A TOOL FOR THE ARCHITECT
Man the quality is just over the roof, amazing!!
For those who aren't apple based (small crowd, I know) Microsoft's Surface works really well also. I was back and forth between an iPad pro and the surface. For not much more I went with the surface. The main reason being is is that, unlike the iPad, I can run full programs on it and not just an app version. This was great for me at the time since I was also in the market for a computer. So I have a fully functional laptop (that handles SketchUp, cad, and Revit well) and a tablet.
I will say the main drawback to it though is that since you are running full versions of the programs, boot ups take a little longer for heavier ones like PS which I use to draw concept plans.
But the pen of the surface wasn’t as great as the apple one. Beside from that it run well for those app for architect. Still for those who want to expand their knowledge with digital i would recommend IPad but for only architect and being able to do thing without dragging your laptop with you then surface to me.
@@Lilix-nm1xh I could agree. The pencil of the iPad definitely feels much better, and without looking it up, I was to say had a higher dpi response (maybe). But the great part about the surface was it doesn't have to feel like dragging your laptop around. Often I don't even have the key board attached. And it's been handy on the occasion where i needed access to heavier capabilities while in the field. The fluidity of the Apple OS is hard to get past though :) I think UI is something apple will rule in for quite some time.
@@landshaperstudio which surface are you using ?
You sir, are top quality! A dying breed!from your workflow, time management, presentation, review to editing ALL elite status. Thank you for sharing. You inspire my inner architect and creative self. Cheers.
I’m an Industrial Design student and my iPad + Procreate is an everyday tool.
Awe man, what a pleasant surprise for my sunday morning. Hoping for the best this new year for you and your family Eric. Take care my friend!
By the way, have you ever used a fountain pen in your sketching? If so, did you like it? If not, how so?
You are the 'most" useful content provider in this RUclips world! So happy to find you!
17:55 i recommend notablility sir..
I liked the video because of his honesty and hard work
Are your permit drawings printed with red text? If so, how is that received by officials?
👍d question!!!
Larry Tinnin yes, it’s never been an issue
30X40 Design Workshop I might try it, I like the way it looks, really really enjoy your recording interacting with clients! , need a bunch more, it’s better than tv!
@@larrytinnin3357 I've actually been doing this in a BLUE color based on Eric's inspiration and I love it, looks great, not TOO expensive, but very effective
We recently started showing our grid lines in red. Very helpful for us, but the city of Portland rejected our drawings at intake because of the color.
Love the smiles and laughter at the close. Keep up the great work.
Hi there, interesting to read that you know started to understand the value of a drawing tablet.
Few more apps for you to look into:
Concepts - I find this as a designer seriously beating overhyped pro-create.
Instead of Procreate SketchBook (Free) is also a very useful app.
You mentioned morpholio which is pretty good also with its AR to sketch idea.
But I always go back to concepts.
Regarding 3D CAD look at Shar3D - how SketchUp should have been.
CAD models made on site can be send later to autocad etc.
No more taking paper notes for dimensions etc ...
Probably you know there is also a mobile version of autocad for iOS.
The wood sectional cross supporter is so nice!
"well I'm just getting old", that statement really makes my day! 😂
thanks, really.
You seriously inspired a student today. I hope you know you saved a life. Thank you. I was in a rut.
I recently purchased the ipad pro too. I found really usefull the app Affinity Designer, as a editing tool for vector and pixel files (like adobe illustrator and simple Photoshop in one app). And its a very good price too. Both pc and ipad.
Also for desktop version, I recommend the affinity publisher (like adobe indesign) and if you want to edit later in ipad the app affinity designer opens the same files and does a great job. Check them out. :)
No matter how far tech goes.
A pen/pencil and a sketchbook are something on another level.
Great video, always appreciate your stuff! What background paper textures are you using for your procreate drawings?
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but at 7:56 found it strange how comfortably this man one hands the 11 inch iPad Pro using his pinky and thumb. Dont get me wrong I myself have what i would consider large hands, but this man makes it look like an iPad mini!
Archi student and photographer here, what do you think about the new pro model? Are lidar, cursor, and more performance game changer? It really feels like it's made for my needs.
I am not an architect at all. I was looking for a video on how to draw with an iPad and man, really really nice video! You earned a subscriber.
There is a paper like screen protector that some of my friends have and is much nicer than the glass
He mentions it in the video. It’s done by Paper Like.
I'm not an architect, but I've wanted to introduce the iPad to my architect friends in a way that'd be useful to them. This video has been a great perspective.
Your videos are very professional and well done! Best I found on the web so far. Thanks for your work and your help to the designers community! For iPad Pro, I like also SketchBook by Autodesk. I bought Procreate to give it a shot, but it seems pretty much the same, and it's free! :)
Your colour balance, video quality and editing is just fantastic!
What are your go to brushes on Procreate? I’m struggling to find the best brushes for an architecture student.
this guy is obviously a very practical man. Notice that he doesnt get products simply because its new. case and point is the phone and laptop he is using
"I don't like it"
proceeds to make a video sketching with it.
What an incredible video. The way you articulate your words and explain process is inspiring. This video is so relevant during this time and was extremely helpful. Would love to see updates on your latest Notion processes and how you are using it in 2021!!!
Great presentation, I'm architect. Just curios how is the quality of a rendering or an image when you present to the client with a "matte scree protector". I was wondering if there other screen protectors out there that deliver the same sketchy texture but does not loose the clarity?
This is fantastic! I'm trying to research ipad tools for architects and designers, and I haven't found many helpful resources online. This video is clear, organized, and informative. Just what I needed!
I don’t care if I need it or not what’s important is that I couldn’t afford it :(
save your money, limit your expense
You can buy tab s2 but this is an android so maybe u dont like it
Then fix that problem, get to work
I’m a Construction Manager and Estimator and continue to find new ways to use my iPad at the small company where I work, including Notion! It rocks.
