Artistic Architectural Sketching with Procreate

Architectural Design in Procreate

“Congrats you have finished the course! I really appreciate having you with me on this journey, and I hope it was useful. Now, for your final project! Here are some steps you saw during the course and that will be useful to complete your project: • Figure out what you are going to sketch (a house, a building, or maybe a skyscraper). • Make some small thumbnail rough sketches from different angles of your concept and choose the best one in your opinion. • Draw a rough sketch of the views you chose in a bigger format and with more details. • Use Procreate grid to make the final sketch and keep refining it until you get a clean outcome. • Choose a color palette from a reference image and start filling the surfaces with color. • Use each color as a base for your textures with the clipped mask layers. • Figure out your light source and draw your shadows in 2 to 3 layers. • Add some effects, background, and human figures. • Make a simplified design process diagram if you see fit. • Add your name or logo. • Export the poster to the format that fits you most. • Do some final color correction in some other software like Adobe Lightroom. • Share with your client or add it to your project with plans and sections. Here's how you can present your final project, showing us the most important steps of your process: Initial sketch

Final sketch (clear lines) Light and shadows Background and effects Final version (with your name or logo and process diagrams) You can also share other steps of your work or even a time-lapse of the whole process. It's up to you! And remember: don't be discouraged if you don't succeed on your first attempt as these skills need some practice! I promise if you give yourself the chance to grow you will get much better. I can’t wait to see what you will produce for your final project! So please share it here in Domestika and I will be seeing your work and will make sure to give you more tips and tricks whenever I find a chance to do so. Thanks, and good work! ”

“Final Project You've finished the course. Thank you, I appreciate having you with me on this journey. I hope it was useful. Now you know the formula, you can apply it on your designs, and with time, you'll add your personal touch and come up with your style. Don't forget to start your project by sketching small thumbnails. Those can help you visualize your design better and to choose the view you think is best. When doing your final sketch, make sure your lines are clean and they fully intersect so you don't have problems when filling them with color later. Remember to experiment with diffe...”
