The iPad Drawing Workflows That Took Me 10 Years to Get Right

These aren’t hacks — they’re the workflows I use every day as a professional architect and educator.
After a decade of trial and error, I’ve built a complete iPad ecosystem that lets me go from first sketch to finished rendering using just a few powerful tools:
Procreate, Morpholio Trace, and SketchUp for iPad.

In this video, I walk through the exact thinking behind that system — how the apps interconnect, what finally clicked, and why this workflow has become the foundation of my teaching.

👉 What you'll learn in the full 5-week workshop:

How to draw to scale in Procreate using my 300 DPI system

How to build client-ready image boards and diagrams

How to use Morpholio Trace for early design iterations

How to draft, export, and render SketchUp for iPad models

How to combine these tools into a real-world presentation workflow

Plus: My downloadable brush sets, stamp tools, and stencil palettes

Bonus: Morpholio Trace Accelerator + Procreate One-Minute Masterclass

Inside the workshop, you'll get access to these six included courses:
✅ Procreate Accelerator
✅ Morpholio Trace Accelerator
✅ Procreate for Design (full residential project)
✅ Procreate for Rendering
✅ SketchUp for iPad
✅ Procreate One-Minute Masterclass

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.
