Fortunately, we only need to use this tool during the first step. This step is completed using the Mac version of Sketchbook because though Sketchbook’s perspective tool is robust, it’s only available on the desktop version. The first step of this drawing is to lay down the perspective framework. The drawing I’m presenting to you in this article uses a reference photo featuring a modern prairie home designed by Yunakov Architecture and built in Bucha, Kiev, Ukraine. Unfortunately, aside from the myriad hardware limitations such as poor palm rejection, parallax, or insufficient stylus accuracy, most of the software we see today just aren’t advanced enough to simulate traditional medias (watercolor, gouache, etc.) However, despite all the hurdles above, the purpose of this article is to demonstrate to you that, the combination of iPad Pro and Autodesk Sketchbook might just be the perfect workflow when it comes to architectural marker drawings. Therefore, as a staunch believer in the power of technology, I did a lot of research on which workflow, which combination of software and hardware can free the designers from the shackles of traditional tools and supplies, yet still able to create convincing hand drawn images that are devoid of the typical ‘processed’ look we see in most of the ‘digital arts’ today. Whenever I get to visit the meticulous setup of certain artists’ studio or hear them geeking out about the subtle differences among various brands’ watercolor tubes or brushes, as much as I admire their dedication to the craft, I cannot help but feel discouraged. The reason behind this obsession of mine boils down to my phobia towards the expensiveness and vastness in the variation of the traditional art supplies. I have always been interested in finding the perfect workflow that could allow the designers to prod uce images that possess authentic hand-drawn qualities digitally, preferably all within one single piece of software.
