So...not to ruffle feathers here but my process has been SU->Photoshop. Via Cintiq when I'm in the studio and via iPad when I'm traveling/on site for a workshop. From what I've seen, Procreate seems to be the better 'digital sketching' option....but I'm hesitant to make the switch since I'm still desktop-bound most days and there is no desktop version of Procreate. Any thoughts there? I'll post a few of my loose charrette sketches (done in 1-2 hours max) for reference. Thanks in advance.

Hey there, it's Henry Gao! 👋 I'm based in the Bay Area, California, hanging out with my lovely family - two kiddos and our golden retriever boy. Though I did the whole architecture school thing in both Canada and the U.S. (yeah, twice!), I discovered that teaching is my true calling in life. Drawing has always been a passion of mine, and now, I've seamlessly transitioned from pen and paper to the wonders of the iPad. When I'm not busy shaping young and old minds, you can find me hitting the trails for a run, exploring nature on hikes, or catching up with our church family. My goal here is to ignite your interest in the iPad scene. But I'm not just about design and drawing! If you've got any burning questions or just want to chat about life beyond architecture, shoot me a message. I'm all ears and ready to share whatever wisdom I can offer. ✨

Hi all, my name is Shirley. Ian an architect and istarted to sketch digital very recent as I am used to paper, pencils and pens more. I am working in a coworking centre. This is the photo of my desk. I hope with your help and Henry's of course my transition to the digital world will be easy. I am specialized in Airport design and sustainability. Wish all best of luck

Here’s one of my first Procreate drawings using Henry’s brushes and layer structure. It’s a trace of a photo of a barn with 2nd floor apartment that I built for a local winery here where I live in northern Michigan.
