Who needs iPad drawing?

If you'reĀ tired of searching YouTube every time you needĀ to do something on the iPad, you'll love theĀ time-saving flow of an online course takenĀ at your convenience.

Ā 

If you're stillĀ anxiouslyĀ using pencil on paper whileĀ everyone around you has gone digital, iPad drawing combines the familiarityĀ of pencil with the superpowers of Photoshop, updating your hand-drawing talents for the 21st century.

Ā 

If you've beenĀ frustrated working from home because you lack the toolsĀ to share your sketches, details, and PDF markups, the iPad will keep you seamlessly connectedĀ to your project team and office workflowā€“no matter where you are in the world. It's like havingĀ a complete design studio with you wherever you go.

As an architect and full-time professional renderer, I have been using iPad appsĀ since the Apple Pencil was introduced. In this video I show you the top 10 reasons why I gave up pencils and paper and started using only iPad drawingĀ to do my architectural design and rendering.Ā Click the button to watch!
"Love how you break down the fundamental barrier of creativity. Where does it start? Like the Big Bang it has to start some where and just like anything in life, it's more the process of discovery than dwelling on the idea to come to being. This video should be a must for any architectural aspiring student learning the art of creativity. P.S. Your students at UCLA are very luck to have you!"

ā€¦I started using the rendering tactics in your Rendering with Procreate course which are massively time-saving and optimize my work. Long story short, Iā€™m now doing these quick, 2-to 5-hour color renderingsā€”similar to what I learned in your courseā€”for upcoming broadcast commercials and shows. My new clients love my Procreate hand renderings!Ā  So you were actually not BS-ing when you said this stuff could change your life. Just wanted to thank you again. Iā€™m starting on the Sketchup for iPad course now, and please let me know if you ever do one for Shapr-3D. With gratitude and appreciation for all you do.

Meet your guide

My name is James Akers. I'm a registered architect, full-time professional renderer, UCLA professor of iPad Drawing, and creator of the iPad For Architects YouTube channel.

Like you, I believeĀ thinking with a pencil in hand is still the best way to design, but my long-standing analog design and rendering business almost died becauseĀ I refused to give up thatĀ pencil asĀ the rest of the world went digital around me.

I had no choice but to teach myself iPad drawing in order to update my servicesĀ and continue supporting my family. It's been an adventure marked by years of trial and error, but I eventually got the hang of it, and now I share the time- and frustration-saving lessons I learned in the online courses you're about to browse on this site. I hope you'll try one, but if the time isn't right, please subscribe and stay in touch anyway, OK? I look forward to learning as much from you as I hope you'll learn from me.
ā€“James
