Many of us have stopped sketching by hand, and that's a real loss not only because we risk losing the practice of hand drawing, but also because sketching is critical to developing your artistic vision and your design voice. The good news is that your iPad can bring sketching back into your workflow, and today, I'm going to show you how sketches I made in my iPad sketchbook-without a specific client in mind-actually became the seed for the design of a home for a retired couple who wanted to build a memorable house in an area of Maine near places to ski, hike and play, golf so their kids and grandkids would always look forward to visiting. So grab your iPad, download the original Procreate files that come with this video, and follow along to see how your iPad can become your 21st-century sketchbook and an essential part of your everyday workflow.

ABOUT: My name is James Akers and I'm a practicing architect who also supported my family as a full-time renderer working in pencil and watercolor, up until the day that pencil and watercolor could no longer keep up with the pace of change in the modern digital office. So in 2015, I followed Tim Cook's lead, switched to Apple Pencil on iPad, and haven't looked back. Now, as UCLA professor of iPad Drawing and founder of the iPad for Architects YouTube channel, I split my time between teaching, rendering, design consulting, architect-ing, and my favorite of all: helping students rediscover the benefits of drawing-by-hand in the digital era through online courses in Procreate, Morpholio Trace and Sketchup for iPad.
