Another fun experiment to keep on learning more tools and their interactions. This one is roughly 30% Morpholio and 70% Procreate. Finished product and initial, rambling, sketch.

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.

I’ve got a question for anyone in the group. I’ve got a Procreate project that is going to be printed on 48”(w) x 36” poster board for a presentation. With my iPad, the maximum dpi is 150 and only 9 layers. I’ve drawn it on said size. Is this going to look any good? I apologize for asking for advice on a forum where we are all at different levels in our careers and someone asking for “free” advice might be unseemly. Thanks!

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. ✨
