Sketching in Isolation - Work From Home Skill Building
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2020
- Feeling the pressure to make the most of your time in isolation to learn new skills + be productive? If you haven’t quite lived up to your own lofty expectations of what you should be accomplishing, you're not alone. Learn what's been working for me as I sketch an invented architectural folly.
Time spent in my sketchbook is focused and without distraction. It’s space to think and be creative without the strict boundaries of budgets and schedules. It’s reminded me that not everything I design needs to be rooted in reality, that daydreaming and suspending the laws of physics have value too and can nourish my architecture practice in meaningful ways. Inventing imaginary architecture can help you assert control in a time where agency is in short supply. For me, it’s been an enriching, liberating win in this time of quarantine.
I hope spending a few minutes with me in my (digital) sketchbook designing a Quarantine Chapel - whatever that is - will inspire you to get lost in your own sketchbook for an hour or two. And, if you build a few skills along the way, all the better!
Be safe out there. Until next time…cheers…

Really cool music/video editing. This video cured my creative block I've been having lately. Keep doing what you.
Can you create content more like this one. It’s actually very inspiring and educating, thank you!
I'm not in the architecture field (I'm an engineering student), but this channel has given me quite a lot of inspiration from a design perspective and these are some of my favorite videos on RUclips. The detail and production value is unrivaled. Keep it up, 30x40!
If this guy isn't the definition of a creative genius, i don't know what is.
The level of craft and production in the video! top notch!
Just started playing around on procreate and your brush pack is great! I wasn’t getting enough use out of my iPad Pro the last couple of weeks and it’s been great to have something new to create with.
If anyone is trying to draw windows or glazed surfaces I discovered the rad vintage brush in the subtractive blend mode is perfect
That intro paired with the music at 0:35 is phenomenal. It's the exact music I would expect to hear if I was entering The Quarantine Chapel for the first time. Your work is so inspiring. Cheers, Tim
Cheers Tim...appreciate that...!

i just finished my first year as an architect student and a we heavily focused on sketching and learning how to communicate our ideas through plan, elevation, and section drawings. this was very insightful, so thank you so much for taking us through your creative process!!!
This is honestly so inspirational. Love all the content being posted by Eric ❤️
I'm an architecture student from VietNam, your channel help me a lot of thing for study such as Sketch, Plan or Tricks,.... I'm inspired of almost your videos, extremely useful for me now. Thank you so much
Music and the dark background for the art makes it disturbingly beautiful!
I'm not even an Architect and I love your videos. Thank you, you are a true inspiration.
Thank you Eric, been a very stressful few months with the buisness disappearing before my eyes with clients drop off and projects on hold... hopefully they will come back! I’m taking this time to reflect and reset myself and hopefully relight the Atelier in 2021.. But I too have been using this time to design my garden office. Refocus who my clients are and want to them to be and finally start using revit! Another tool to present with that I don’t need but feel the commercial pressure to learn it. Thank you for being their in the background and keep it real. Ps loved the deep thought music. Keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear these challenging times have affected business for you Barry! A winnowing of the project load can be a welcome reset for the business even if it's attended with the pain of lost revenues. I've been keeping an eye out for your videos...skip the Revit (blech!)...document the process of designing your garden office...share it with us (and your future clients). Cheers mate...I'm pulling for you...
Feels great to think like an architect! I miss design so much!
Your editing has gotten so much better over the years. That intro + reverse timelapse was genius.... as was the rest of this video. Thank you for continuing to crack the window into your process and inspiring and instructing through this platform. Also that pencil has changed my life.
As a recently chartered architect who is considering going solo in the very near future, your videos are an inspiration. I really love your content, look forward to more soon!
Whew, this video could cure depression. I love everything about this! Thanks Eric!
I have never regretted this $20 for your Procreate Pack! I love it so much! Thank you Eric, and i swear I have always looked up to you, being an architecture student for 3 years, I always look forward to new technology and for history theory critique design thinking.
Thank you once again :)
Cheers...glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for supporting my work here, really appreciate it!
This was one of the most quietly inspiring things I've seen in months. Yes, I sketch. No, I'm not an architect. Yes, I have an iPad, but I'm a long time iOS/iPadOS/macOS developer.
Thank you. It's been rough.
you're always such an inspiration for an architecture student like me... I watched and loved all of your videos, keep it up Eric! Many people like me really appreciate it.
I was wondering to what extent Procreate replaced your physical sketchbook? Did it completely replace it, or is it just another tool in your box?
Greetings and stay safe!
Cheers, ty...the iPad is just another tool it hasn't replaced the sketchbook, but since it's new I'm enjoying exploring how different its capabilities are as compared to paper sketching. Split is still 50/50 on paper vs. digital.
Lovely!
That’s a brilliant sketch! One tip though. Once you hold the pencil to draw a straight line, touch the screen with another finger (without leaving the pencil) that will snap to a perfect right angle. :)
Indeed...I should've mentioned that!
I really admire your work sir! Thank you so much, you’re a great guide!
Great video Eric! You inspire any architect who is neck-deep in boring design management to get back to the drawing boards. A much-needed tutorial on Procreate. Love it. And thanks for sharing!!
I'm not even an architect and I can use Procreate really well but somehow I find this video so entertaining and calming to watch.
Good job dude!
Always enjoy watching and listening to your videos as I find them very stimulating and inspiring. In another life I was an old fashioned Draughtsman who moved on through 2d cad into 3D modelling and BIM. I now have an iPad and am exploring what I can do with it, mostly cars and things. What struck me about this particular video was the brushes you used and the scale figure but in addition, having a room underground presents a number of issues with weather conditions and the impact it would have on the structure. California or Arizona might be the ideal climate and I am sure that is what you have in mind. Love the concept, style and use of the tools. I recently scratchbuilt a Cement Works for my model railway at a scale of 1:76 from matte card and textured papers and I know that watching some of your earlier videos on model building inspired me. Keep it up and I am looking forward to your next project📐🖍
This was so relaxing, even though I dont usually sketch so much, this was wonderful! Thank you 😊✌️!
This was super inspiring! It has revitalized my desire to start sketching again!
Thank you for this!
Knocking out out of the park once again! Thanks Eric for great and inspiring content as always. Cheers!
Your work is always inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I really admire you Architect Eric and definitely i'll be considered as one of the influential persona who give such an inspiration specifically on the relationship of architecture towards different aspects of its surroundings (tangible or non-tangible/explicit or implicit) which are exhibited by your informative video contents. Kudos! A warm greetings from the Philippines!
Very neat. Like the finished product. Seems very detailed and... "whole..."
This guy's opening a door for me,his voice is earnest and invites me to want to listen and accompany his exploratory process.He's not coming from 'Hey look at how wonderful I am!' I listened and was inspired to reinvent my sketching process via a Samsung tabA I was given at work.Squaring the circle of 3D sketching into vectored SW I can see as a possibility now..that's a BIG door!
thanks...sometimes it pays to go down the RUclips rabbit hole because now and again you come across gems like this
Hi Eric, thanks for all the great videos. I am graduating as an (Interior) Architect this summer and have to do this now from home. Your model making videos have been an great inspiration for me during this time!
This is insanely good and satisfying, I had second thoughts about buying an iPad but after this video im definitely buyin one
Total Creative ! I just like all you do. Thanks
Enjoying the new soundscapes and experiments 👩🔬
This is feeling very Bob Ross for architectural sketching! Love it. Great to hear the thinking and watch the process at the same time. Like telling and drawing a story.
I’ve been thinking about becoming an architect for a while now just getting my ideas onto paper and all
Beautiful to watch your imagination at work. Thanks for a peaceful break. Take care.
cheers...thanks for watching...!
You're such an inspiration for a young architect like me:) Thanks for sharing these beautifully edited videos.
I' ve always felt so identified with your approach to design and workflow, and I also recently downloaded Procreate on my Ipad and it's been surprisingly refreshing and very useful, especially in quarantine! I didn't like my iPad as I do now. It looks you are having lots of fun with it too! Thanks for sharing your work in so honest and passionate way!
cheers mate...procreate has changed my relationship with the ipad...glad to hear you're enjoying it too...
Isolation is a gift
"my wife.. cocaine." I had to reply that a few times, to realise you said cooking. lol. Sorry, it's the accent! Thank for the laugh and ofcourse the incrediable content !
So you pronounce cocaine...cookin‘?
A brilliant video! loved the whole process and narration.
You’re inspired me a lot thank you I’m an architecture student I can’t wait to be just like you and use pads to do some plans ❤
This video is so aesthetic! I need a vintage ruler like that
True that! Instantly started to look for one, it seems to be a vintage folding stanlay. :)
Just what we need at this time, waiting eagerly for more...
Total Creative !
Hey Eric thanks a bunch for your videos they're truly inspiring and motivational. This video really just got me Sketch hungry! Also, I'm getting more convinced that a graphic pad is more interesting than a physical sketchbook. Besides that, a graphic pad has the added advantage of redoing, zoning in on layers, and it just looks cooler.
Beautiful sketch and design Eric. Watching that really makes me think twice about sketching on a tablet.
Wow... amazing... greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
This is amazing, thanks for sharing, waiting for more.
I have respect for the embracment for you personaly with the tablet. How quick you mastered the app, deep respect.
I hope with your dialed in pencils and presets that I learn as quick to work with Procreate as you are doing! Thank you.
I understand how isolation can effect people. Maybe this is a time to be more expansive, adventurous - even outrageous than ever before. As artists, we can turn our perceived limitations into incredible opportunities from within. Landscape artist Bob Ross talked often about the joy of the world we create through our paintings or drawings.
Great Walkthrough. I hadn't really seen the value of Procreate until I saw the brush placement. To this day I've been using "Paper" to organize sketches in notebooks but the lack of tools for sketching is frustrating.
Random person runs into Eric in the street:
Hi Eric how are you? I love you vids
Eric: *no but let's lower the opacity*
Watching while completely mesmerized. A feeling I’ve only experienced while watching Bob Ross. Did you ever think, you would one day have the same impact as Bob Ross? Hope this idea ^ is as mind blowing of idea as it is to me
Always refreshing content. Keep it fresh Eric
the first stage of design planning stresses me out the most but you make it look so fun!
Hey Eric,
Another extraordinary video is here as usual. Thank you for everything you have been doing.
Could do live please?
So people like-me could ask questions for you, and for sure, it would be a great to hear from you.
Thank you.
Thanks for demonstrating your commitment to quality as a value of your practice and brand. We need more of this in the world! ...Also as a civil engineer from a northern climate, I'm cringing thinking about designing the drainage, snow removal, tree roots, green roof irrigation, frost protection and roof support.. :).
Please create more of these design development process thru sketching!! It’s so educational for architectural students like me! Construction details! Concepts! Programmed! Etc
I took a break from my plasma cutter work on my hot rolled steel wood stove heat shield for the Modern Cabin and found this to be a nice mental break. Thanks Eric
handwork just at a different scale...love it...and, slightly jealous of the plasma cutter...i'd like to make some steel shelves for the studio...long distance collab?
@@30by40 sounds like a nice challenge, I’m in. gobuilditbetter@gmail.com or some examples on your Pinterest.
Eric, EXCELLENT channel. I'm in a very different profession but really enjoy the videos and bought the Procreate pack for fun. Thanks for the great content and media!
Absolutely amazing!! 💯
I hope there will be no silly guys who'll push that dislike button, great content dude.
I love watching this one ☝️ it helps me get focused to sketch
I love sketches like this one soo much
That was wonderful!
U are my inspiration and teacher from afar. Im something little like u in some degree but I have my colors that define me but its incomplete. Im in a cocoon state. I will evolve eventually, I hope so.
I love your videos!!
Thank you for that!

@@30by40 Hello! Could be work on android?
*Happy 611K!*
Would be interested to see the elevation if ever developed 👍🏼 enjoyed the video, thanks for the inspiration.
Love this
cheers...hunkered down here...
I tried to buy your two books but for me here in Brazil it's become insanely expensive. When I got at US some day i do it. Great job
A Beautiful Drawing, and a beautiful Chapel - Reminds me a bit of the chapel at MIT by Eero Saarinen. I'd love to see it built and to visit ! My mom just gifted me a drawing tablet, my first one I've wanted one for over a decade, so I am watching your videos as a tutorial to get started. Thanks so much :)
Learning a lot.
Thank you!
Im making a ecumenical chapel and this is very util for my homework
Really like it😍
incredible skill set
Beautifully simple
so awesome !
Refreshing..
Amazing. This was one of my best video.
Sketching is best kind of distraction. 💯💯🔥
wow.. great content.. need to post videos more often.. thanks for sharing
Amazing..
You are such an inspiration for me, I would love to be an architect like you.
Could you film a video showing your morning routine these days?
I will try!
Phenomenal
Lovely work! So relaxing watching you sketch - thank you 30x40. One question, have you ask the Procreate team to add scale ruler/features like in the ‘concept app’? I believe if Procreate did this scale feature it would become the architects prefect sketch tool app.....Please promote this pleassssseeeeeee!
Beautiful
Awesome stuff
Just got my iPad Pro today. Great video. Sold me on your procreate handbook + assets.
wow its amazing)))
watching this is very therapeutic to me
incredible video Eric
Hello Eric Reinholdt,
I am doing an informational interview for one of my classes. My major is to be an architect. I’ve been following you for a bit now and I love your work. Would you be willing to answer some questions for me by chance?
great video, in my opinion you should try to do more of this style of video it's really transporting and could bring to life some amazing ideas
I also like the visual props of hinged ruler&imperial weights obviously anchoring his creativity to source inspiration. This guy needs to do some BIM tutorials..
that intro was craaaazy!! nice vid
