Why Digital Wins Every Time!

Apr 03, 2024

Tell me, have you ever tried sketching while travelling, attending insightful events, or meeting with a client? If so, you know that every minute counts, and sometimes we just grab the nearest pen to start drawing without wasting a second. But what if you have too many pencils, or worse, not enough for your brilliant ideas? That can be a distraction to your creative flow and will stand for mediocrity.

This is why digital wins every time.

Moreover, it's just not practical to use traditional materials as they require a CONSTANT investment to maintain your creativity. Free yourself from dependency on the corporate world of art supply stores! Am I being too radical?

I DON’T THINK SO.

Let me share my experiences. This March, I started my journey with abstract painting. In less than a month, I spent as much as a new iPad Air costs just to have enough materials to paint with. And it's only been A MONTH!! Yes, I know abstract painting isn't the same as interior or exterior sketches, but still.

Another example you can relate to: last year, during my trip to Cannes, I brought along over 150 pencils, and oh boy, did I regret it. At the airport, while rearranging my carry-on bag, all the pencils spilled out onto the floor! AT THE AIRPORT!!!

After such embarrassing and frustrating events, I'm grateful to the creators of the iPad and Procreate for bringing such a lifesaver to life! Procreate is the drawing app where I work my magic.

Just look at these sketches below! Less than 30 minutes, 2 genius brushes, and voila!!



The sketch with the iconic buildings is part of my brand new series of tutorials I’ve just finished filming for you. They are part of my new iPad architectural sketching course, which you can join HERE.

Another cool thing about iPad drawing is that you can create sketches in absolutely different techniques in styles:

And again, you’ll be drawing all of them with my guidance HERE.

Thanks to the iPad!
